i was txtin my boyfriend normally, you know just flirtling and stuff, when he started to ask me questions the first one said: "what would you say if i was cheatin on u? (im not)"..ok easy so i answered truthfully and then he hit me with another: "What would you say if i wanted to break up? (im not lol)" i answered this truthfully again then he replied back and said "i guess cuz see me and matt want to join the marines after high school." Thats where the problem rolls in...
i asked him how come and he just told me that he wanted to and i cant change his mind. i wasnt plannin to, i knew he was thinkin about joining but so early?? i support him eagrly, but i dont want to let him go. i truly love him with my whole heart, and i want a strong future with him, question is: how can i support him if i dont want the same as him?

You can want something different for him, and you can want something different for yourself, but you can still support him. I'll be honest. Supporting something you don't really believe in is tough. I had a boyfriend in the Marines, though he joined while we were just friends. I begged and pleaded and couldn't change his mind, but because he was my friend, I supported him.
You just kinda have to suck it up. There's really no other way to put it. However, it's VERY possible that before high school ends he'll change his mind about joining. I'm not saying it'll happen, but that it's possible. [ christina's advice column | Ask christina A Question ]
