My girlfriend won't let me join....

Tell her that I'm joining

3008

Listen to her

1328

So my girlfriend won't let me join the Marines, saying "she doesn't want the military as any part of her life" It's been my life long dream to join the Marines. What should I do?

  • I don't want to demonise your girlfriend, as it's understandable that she doesn't want the military lifestyle she'll have to be part of, or she doesn't want to risk your safety or well-being of your possible future family. But sometimes people are incompatible because of a core issue. If your dreams and goals aren't compatible then chances are you two won't be (in the long run). I wouldn't dare advise you one way or another,, however you really need to consider what you want out of life. There are other people to fall in love with; there are other careers to be had. Whatever you decide there'll be hardship and/or heartbreak.

  • Since you're too much of a bitch to make this decision yourself, you're most likely too much of a bitch to join the marines. So I say no, don't join

    • People that make life choices based on the opinion of some vagina are foolish.

      • it has to be your own decision regardless... you got some very serious thinking to do i guess. i have a lot of respect for the military, i have family members in the army.. but is it worth the risk and the heartache both for yourself and your loved ones? i am not sure.. good luck anyway :)

      • Don't join the Marines. No budget, shitty equipment and they can't even haze correctly.

        Then tell her it won't be, and serve in the finest military in the world.

          If it's something you're passionate about doing then go for it...why be stuck doing something else you're not happy doing? I spent ten years in the army and was only going to do three...best ten years of my life because it I enjoyed what I did. There are always gonna be people in your life that won't agree with what you do, but in the end it's all about you

        • I served my country proudly as a US Marine. Many of my friends that I am close with served in various branches. Most of us feel it was the best decision in our life. Don't let someone else make your decisions for you. You need to do what you feel is best for your life. The military is not for everyone but if you choose that path do it with a full heart and conviction. It's tough but rewarding.

          • Do what you feel necessary and what you believe is the right thing for you. Not someone else.

          • The question is, if you decide not to join for her will you end up resenting her?

          • If the woman in your life cannot support you in your career choice, than she doesn't deserve to be your wife. Good thing she's just a girlfriend. Not joining the military due to someone else's desires would be the biggest mistake of your life.

          • My wife won't let me get out because she doesn't have faith that I'll make money when I get out. I'm seriously considering leaving her. I reenlisted, doing as much school as I can. There's no way I'm going to waste another 4 yrs doing a job I don't like. Which is a aircraft maintenance... its not a bad job just didn't want to make it a life thing

            • It's your life not hers. She's your girlfriend not spouse so it shouldn't affect her anyway but if she won't go with you. Well then you know what to do.

            • She may seam like the one and maybe she is but you both sound young and people change and grow apart I just happens thee is no stoping it and there is no going back :( so say you do not join and you resent her for it or you do not and she leaves you anyway how will you feel also if this is an equal relationship why is she not supporting you did she have family that died in war or is it her controlling you there are a lot of things in play hear but what ever you decide sleep in it for one night before you commit as you're life will be different one way or other and for better or worse

            • From a Marine.............. If you want the challenge and the honor by all means do it.Your girlfriend is trying to control your life,and yes a relationship is all about compromise but your young and have plenty of time to find a better girlfriend that is more supportive but remember to also support any crazy and off the wall things she may want to do or "her life dreams".
