If this amazing girl loves you as much as she says she does, then she should be able to wait for you while you're in the Marines. But in her defense, the girl must be worried about you, and would hate to see you leave her as well. But if she loves you she should be able to see that this is something that you've really wanted your entire life and she should support you just like you would support any of her decisions. Good luck with your girl, the marines, and in life. Hope I helped. -Angel

Stay with your girl. I know how much your want to join the Royal Marines, but how offten do you come accross a girl like the one you'v met? If you really love this girl, you'll never leave her side.

You will be making a lot more sacrifices than this if you commit yourself long term to the Royal Marines. Are you mature enough to make such a huge decision? If there is any doubt, then re-examine yourself about it and give it time. Don't stay or go for anyone other than yourself. It is your life. We don't know if this girl would be the love of your life in a year from now either way, and every decision is a risk. If you start losing a sense of self and change for her, you may end up resenting her for life. Both of you should pursue your dreams and if you want to cross paths later, you will find a way.

If this is something you've been waiting and wanting your entire life, then I say do it. It's a great way to go out there, see the world, serve your country, and experience things most people don't get to experience everyday and learn.

If this girl really loves you back, then she will be able to wait for until you return. If you two love eachother enough, whenever you do return, it'll only make your relationship that much stronger, and that much greater. And she should also be supporting you with something you really want to do and have been waiting to do before you even met her.

And I'm sure ( my cousins in the Navy, I know it's not the same thing, but he gets to ) you guys could exchange letters back and forth, and my cousin even got to return home for Thanksgiving and visit family and people for awhile before he set out again, so you might even get to visit her every now and then.

If you want, check out the Royal Marines website, and see if they can answer any questions about how to contact people and if you can visit them and whatnot:

But like I said, I think you should go for it.

I hope I helped.

If it has been your dream all of your life, then do it. You shouldn't let anyone hold you back from your dreams. If she loves you and cares about you then she WILL be there for you and support you 100%. Sure, she's going to be upset. If I had a boyfriend doing it I would 100% support him. Of COURSE I'd be devastated that he was leaving but if I knew it's what he really wanted then I'd support his decision 100% all the way through. Don't let anyone hold you back. If it's what you want then DO IT.

Go, go and go. The Marine are a great way to experience the world, serve the country and launch a career.

You can't experience the world, serve the country and launch a career with a girlfriend.

If you're scared because she will not be there for you, then you are more than likely already sensing she isn't really going to wait for you.

If she does, the relationship will be stronger. If not, they she can't appreciate your goals and respect and support you.

If this is something you have wanted to do your entire life then you should do it.

If she truly loves you she will still be there when you return and she will be there for you while you are away. Sounds like she needs to grow up a little.
She probably will.

If you don't go just because she cries when you talk about it then you may someday when things aren't so rosy blame her because you didn't get to go. I know
right now you don't see that day ever coming but it could. :0

You have to think about what's more important to you. Your girl or this dream that you have of leaving. Sounds like this girl is in love with you and doesn't want you to leave. But if this is your dream then she would understand. Don't worry if she really loves you shell wait until your back. Just make sure you guys keep in touch!. Make sure you talk to her and explain to her that this is your dream and that you love her and you will always love her. Also tell her you guys will keep in touch. But make sure this is really what you want. Don't do naything without you being sure that that's what you really whant. Goodluck! Hope I helped! :o)
