15/female
My boyfriend and I have been dating for almost a year, and he ia joining the marine core in three years, he is 16 years old. He told me that he loves me and cant live without me and I feel the same way about him and he said in a year or two he would marry me and I said that then if he still wanted to join the marine core i would marry him and wait for him untill he gets out. But I am scared that he might get killed and maybe he will get really hurt. I am not sure what I should do. Are militay relationsionships really hard?

I've been in the army for five years and have yet to keep a stable relationship for more than three months. lte's look at the few other red flags here for a moment..... You're fifteen and thinking of marrying a dude you've been dating for "almost a year". at least you won't be alone, there's lots of couples in the military that started off like that... but a good percentage of them get divorced on the first combat deployment. do yourself a favor and stop worrying. about getting married, about him getting killed, its all horseshit you'll have to deal with later on in life. so knock it off. And besides, he's not in the Marine Corps yet, who says he even has what it takes? My family didn't worry about me until I started sending back what I thought were funny videos of running through machine gun fire and shooting back with my M-240. helmet cams are awesome, leaving your computer unlocked while on R&R isn't. I've checked the odds, and played them. you have a better chance of getting killed in philadelphia than you do in a warzone.
now stop worrying.

marriage is a big deal nothing to be taken lightly you'd have to think of your husband & not only yourself with marriage comes lots of responsiblities like paying the bills on time &
working your young & should be experiencing everything the world has to offer you not thinking
about getting married leave that for when you get older & your more mature(: [ sunshine1232's advice column | Ask sunshine1232 A Question ]
Do yourself a favor and don't tie yourself down like that. Why would you want to be married at 17?
Trust me, in the next few years, your outlook on life is going to change DRASTICALLY as you mature and grow older. And what may change along with you is the people you are attracted to.
You're young; you should be concentrating on BEING young and living life while you can. I'm 18, and as much as I love my boyfriend, I don't even want to THINK about marriage until I'm SO much older. Why? Because I have school. I have my stupid hobbies. I want to travel my ass off. I want to study in Spain and Australia and wherever the hell else. I won't be able to do that if I'm married because I'd have to take into account my husband's feelings every step of the way.
Because once you get married, that's it. You have a permanent commitment and your life is now no longer all about you. You're going to have to make big sacrifices for your significant other, the biggest of all being waiting around for him to get back. Think about all the psychological torment you're going to have to go through - every day, you're going to wonder if he's alive or dead. Every day will be a possibility that you'll become a widow.
