Marines,
I am bothered, and I need some advice. My ex-fiance is trying her absolute hardest to get me to take her back. She's come at me guns blazing, trying to convince me to take her back, and ditch this whole military idea, cause she doesn't like the military. She's even told me she doesn't support our troops, she's really closed minded about that for some reason, and its the God help you if you even join the National Guard kind of closed minded. That kind of ticks me off a little, just because my all of my HEROS are or were in the military.
I don't know if any of ya'll know where I'm coming from, but she's left me twice, and I took her back because I felt like she meant well, for some crazy reason. We mere raised to totally different ways. Shes a big city girl, and me not so quite. I was taught to manage my money, my funds, and resources, and she wasn't. That's a little frustrating. She's a year younger than me. She's still in high school, but we've been together probably about three years now. I honestly have been avoiding her for the last week and a half, because I know if I take her back, I won't be able to have anything to do with the military, and its time I make a decision.
She's a sweet girl, she's made mistakes, but so have I. But sometimes you gotta know when to hold'em and when to fold'em, eh?
My recruiter and I have bsed about it once or twice, and he said drop her. Which I think may be a little harsh, but then again she talked to a recruiter that come to her school, about if and he told her (to her face, and i front of others) she was "nothing but an angry girlfriend" (kudos to you sir).
But I am wearing thin Marines, its starting to mess with me physically and mentally now. I care about her more than I have for anyone else before. But, the Marine Reserves are constantly on my mind. Nothing motivates me like hearing the title Marine, or something about MCRDPI. I want that title. But she's dragging that away, ya know?
Shouldn't she support me in something I want, other than just put it down so much?
This has even been affecting my pt, its just so unmmotivating, and I don't know what the heck to do anymore, Marines. Because I think I try to keep my word, and I would like to keep it with her, I didn't just give her a ring for no reason. But now I'm seriously torn between the two. I'm not selfish, I don't think for wanting this, am I? I mean, if we get back together she can leave me, again. If I get that EGA, that's something that will never leave me, forever.
gimmie some opinions Marines. I know I'm not the only one thats dealt with crap relationship problems.
I don't mean to complain, or gripe about it, just looking for some advice from some people I look up to. :/
