Ladies.? If your man joined the military..?

Uh, hi... O.o

I have a bit of a situation on my hands. My boyfriend wants to join the military - again, and I don't like it. He went once before a couple of years ago, but we weren't as "committed" back then so I didn't really have a say.

Is it unfair for me to say that I want him to stay home.? Am I being selfish for thinking like this.?

I want him safe and I want him here with me. A lot can happen in 12 months, you know?

Anyway, thanks for your time.

- Diane

Update:

- I really get your point, we've just moved pass the talk-phase, and we just can't keep having the same fight over and over again... I started doubting the way that I feel because he's so determined to go.

    For starters, you're not being selfish. It's a rational way of thinking when you're boyfriend tells you he wants to join the military so don't think you are doing something wrong by thinking like this.

    Just tell him how you feel. Being honest and telling him that you want him to stay. I'd feel more worse by standing around and not telling him that when he goes away for a year. And you're right, a lot can happen in a year so it would be best to give it a shot and tell him how you feel. You never know, he may end up deciding to stay home.
