Because, your friends just don't want to see it the way you do!! What a person looks like in a uniform don't mean much when it comes to the kind of job they do! Ladies do love a military uniform, but when it comes to deployment time for "action", some ladies just can't handle THAT part of it. A lot of people would love to have their family and friends support in a major decision they want to make, but unfortunately that "wish" sometimes just isn't reality! That's why YOU have to go with what YOU think is right!!

I see. Sounds like that they're being selfish of my decision. Oh well, I guess the saying "You have to break a few eggs to make an omelet" rings true.
Oh and now she thinks Im copping out. Of what??? That pissed me off. Im done talking to her about it. She won't accept it, too damn bad. I made up my mind and this is what I want to do.
I dont understand why she thinks its easier. I would think military life is harder. She just sounds immature and is trying to force her viewpoint on you.
This is what she had to say to me during a drunken rant I had on facebook:

Just work n they provide the rest. Believe me, my disappointment w everything i tried to do for you has nothing to do w a relationship or trying to keep u around. It has everything to do w 4 years of trying to help someone who failed to do anything productive for himself, and me having to give up on them.

Sounds like she is just a arse hole with no clue. The military doesn't provide you with everything. They compensate you for your job. She is a butt head!

I'm trying to tell her that, but she refuses listen because she think she knows all. Never have I seen anyone so stubborn about something they have no clue about.
I would imagine that your roommate simply doesn't want you to leave.
I'm not anti-military in any way, but I know, both from previous relationships with active duty and due to having family members who serve, that being a military spouse or girlfriend is simply not something I'm willing to do. You have to know what you're personally up for. If this is your calling, it's your calling. Your roommate's views are immaterial.
she sounds like a *****. Lead your life the way you want to, she ain't your girlfriend or wife.
