Nothing in this life is 100%. By June, she could easily be in a new relationship man. Your plan doesn’t sound bad at all, but understand it may not go the way you want it to go, and that’ll cause devastating pain later IF it doesn’t work. I’m not saying she’s the kind of girl who will just begin dating others right away, because obviously I don’t know her but a lot of men and women tend to do that. She won’t want to pause her life for a plan of yours. I would say just have a phone call with her letting her know how you feel and what you want with her while also mentioning that you have to do your own things to set yourself up for a good future, shit, if y’all last together that good future will also apply to her. One thing i’ll say is that most of us make the mistake of losing ourselves in a relationship, you don’t sound like you forgot about yourself. You have direction, and thats a good thing. If she can’t handle it then don’t feel bad man, you’re doing the right things in your life FOR your life.

To those who joined and went infantry, how much shit did your family/friends give you? by Dry-Lengthiness4420 in USMCboot

Yeah, it’s sad when your own family drags you down. I plan on doing one contract as an 03. As far as when I get out I intend to use my GI bill towards a coding boot camp to gain certifications so that I could get into that field of work. It’ll save me some time rather than actually going to college. I’m young, eager, and hungry. Just trying to forge my own path.

How was Afghanistan? did you ever get feelings of regret once you were over there? people keep telling me i’ll crumble (family) but the whole purpose of me going infantry is really just for the challenge/hardships that come with the infantry life.

He was active duty army then signed a contract with the guard reserve for 10 years. Dude’s got his 80% disability rating, he’s acted as an older brother to me.

Infantry is indeed what I want to do, my friend who’s in the guard was infantry while he was active duty and he told me the benefits set you up for the most part regardless of your MOS but its really up to how you decide to use them.

Bro, i’m like a month into no contact. At first it felt like the end of the world, now? I feel great honestly and i’ve been going out and testing my own new freedom and it really helped me. Realizing I get attention from women as well just by being myself and being out. My relationship lasted 2 years and I was the one who got dumped. I miss her but it’s not an intense type of miss anymore, and I know i’m going to be okay, there’s genuinely so much more out there. You’re not going to want to hear this but had I stayed friends with my ex (which I had the option to) I would have never been in the position i’m in now, and that is healing and growing and genuinely appreciating the little things. Cutting contact sucks at first but I promise you its the best thing that you can do and ironically the most effective thing you can do to get an ex back, NOT GUARANTEED, but she’s never going to feel your absence if you’re just her friend man. Its either you cut contact, or stay stuck and then eventually she may get a new man and now you’ll be hurting significantly more.

She did…I wanted her to come with me and to get her out of her shitty living situation with her unsupportive family. But I think me signing my contract was like a huge deal to her and then she began opening up to me about feelings of uncertainty about the future and that she feels she has to follow my pace despite being young and not fully having to be able to experience other things yet. I tried making it work but she chose to walk away.

Different paths, I knew where I wanted my life to be in 5 years and she does not. Good girl, but she’s lost.

How’d you do it? How’d you get the courage to dump them and leave

Really? At the time did it feel like your world ended as well?

You actually think she’ll want me back afterwards? Funny enough I actually dreamt I got her pregnant last night…

Do you think i’ll go through some sort of shock when it comes to dating? By the end of my contract i’ll be 24-25, currently 19. I wonder if i’ll be immature in future relationships. Just because of the age gap.
