She's just your girlfriend, not your wife. There's plenty of fish in the sea, but only one United States Marine Corps. If she really loves you, she'll come around and support you. If not, then maybe you're not meant to be together.

Or, if he really loves her he won't join... it's a two way street.

Not really. He said it was his life long dream to join. Is her life long dream to be with someone who doesn't join? Doubtful. No significant other should just dismiss and forbid someone from their lifelong dream. They should be supportive. And I never said he had to make a career out of it. Sign up for a couple of years, serve your country, and get a taste of it. If she still doesn't like it (and he's not crazy about it), then he gets out. If he loves it and she doesn't, then they talk it out.

I for one would not be with someone who is in the military. It has nothing to do with life long dream, that is not the lifestyle I would want for myself or my children. Nor would I be with anyone else who had to constantly move and travel for their job. So then it is his decision whether to be with her or not - to decide what is more important to him.

Edited by Mr Goodkat: 1/6/2015 10:52:51 PMLike I said, he could do one tour to get a taste of it. 2-4 years, and only real movement would be 1-6 months in the beginning for training. So that's not a lot of movement, unlike a career. But yes, at the end of the day, if the girlfriend will not support his life long dream, [u]he has to decide what's more important.[/u] I vote life long dream being more important, since to my thinking, girlfriend/boyfriends are expendable and interchangeable. It's not like they're married, or even engaged, so can't be that serious. At the end of the day (and his life) he has to look in the mirror and justify his actions to himself, and no one else.
