There's a long list of problems, mostly communication. But I'm pretty confident the main reason is he wants to enlist in the Army and I don't approve of it. I refuse to sit and go through what Mare did. Fuck that bullshit. I have 3 friends I haven't heard from in over 7 months, and neither have their families. 2 friends sitting in the middle of nowhere hating life. 2 others stuck in fucking Alaska and haven't been able to have a leave since 2006. Aside from that bullshit, I don't believe in the "War" we are fighting, and I think it's a waste of fucking time, money, and lives. As of this point in time, he wants me to be a "friend" and try to start over. Whatever. I doubt it will work. Guys tend to shit on me, big time.

I had dated a guy who went into the army. It was very hard on both of us as I didn't support his decision and it almost caused us to break up. I stuck by his decision though, as he thought it was the best thing for him and isn't that what we are all taught to do? Do what is best for yourself? So I tried to support him as best as I could, and I befriended a lot of army girlfriends and wives and it really helped out. Actually the whole experience of dating someone long-distance like that with limited contact really opened my eyes to a lot of things and made me appreciate my relationship more.

But obviously you were vocal in the fact you weren't happy with him enlisting, and a lot of people don't want to be with someone who won't stick by them 100% because then they'll be out on the field or at BCT/AIT wondering if their girl is cheating on them back home. So I can understand why he might have wanted to break things off.

But at least you'll come out of it knowing what you don't want in a relationship (a military one).
