Today, my girlfriend of three years broke up with me because I'm in the military and I'm gone too much. The reason I enlisted in the first place is because we agreed that the money and benefits I would earn would help us be able to start a family in the future. FML

I'm sorry to hear that. As a Marine wife I can tell you it's a difficult life to live and most women can't hack it. And I've met quite a few military couples. Sadly, the number of those that are faithful, including myself, I can count on one hand. You have to be truly devoted to that person to be able to handle months or years at a time without seeing him/her. I think that's why so many cases people cheat or break it off

What a bitch... Women are all venomous she-wolves. But they also smell nice and have breasts.

Not everyone in the marines has a relationship like that, im with a marine and everything is going smooth. He's my best friend and we're not cheating on one another. You just have to find someone you can trust especially in hard situations like deployment, etc. Its just like a normal relationship exept you're dealing with harder situations. I cant believe there are so many ignorant people out there.

Meh. I've been in the army. You'll find someone else who understands. And hey, if you don't like the selection, wait a bit, and you'll get PCS'd

I'm really sorry to put it like this...but you dumb as hell for letting her send you to, possibly, your death so YOU could earn all the cash by risking your life and she sit at home. You should have BOTH joined. I mean, how old were you when you two came up with this idea? :S I'd beat her ass if I were you...and a person who would beat women. Well, I could kick her ass because I am a woman but that's beyond the point.

im sorry that sucks... Im a marine wife of a year and my husband has been gone for all the a month and a half of it. we were together for two and a half before he joined. and yes it can be very hard when he is gone a lot and i mean a lot, deployments are the worst. But you know she probably didnt know what she was getting into when whe thougt it was such a great idea... but things happen for a reason and you know she wasnt a strong enough person to be a military wife and so she wasnt strong enough for you. Youll find someone who will stand by your side no matter how far away you are. and will wake up and talk to you at 4 am while you are on your lunch break in iraq. If she cant do that then she is not worth your time worrying about her while you have so much more to worry and stress about. keep your chin up

I feel for you dude. I'm in the Navy, and my wife and I have argued many times over me getting deployed and being gone for several months at a time. The only difference is I have 4 kids and she feels overwhelmed sometimes and being away from her family is frustrating for her. But in your situation, you don't deserve the crappy treatment, find yourself someone who is more commited. And I joined for the exact same reason as you : for the money and benefits. Don't let yourself get dicouraged from doing your job, hang in there bro.
