Im 19 years old, my boyfriend and I bought a house last month, meaning so far we've only made one payment. My name is on the house only. Today during his lunch break he signed up for the Coast Guard at one of those booths they randomly place in areas. He signed a contract.. Meaning its un-doable. He didnt mention it to me until AFTER the fact. I cant move out of this house, Ive only made one payment, it will destroy my credit. He just expected me to up and leave my home one of month without ever even asking me. I wont go. So even if he can get out of doing this. What should I do? We plan on spending our lives together, getting married and having children, but this, today was unacceptable.

The bright side is, he WILL be making money. He will probably get a sign-on bonus and the like. He needs to be sure to apply money towards the home so it isn't piled on only your shoulders.
You shouldn't be expected to move from your home. Nor should you be expected to take the fall for a foreclosure. You need to talk to him about this and let him know he best be DAMN sure to help you pay for this house with his money earned from the military.
You definitely need to sit down and talk to him about your feelings on this. He can't go on making such decisions without talking to you first. You can't have such things if you plan to have children. A part of a marriage or a committed relationship is that BOTH of you are involved in huge decisions.
