im nineteen i just got out of a very serious relationship...that was actually my first real relationship...my bf was six years oldr than me had a child and was more mature than me (as can be expected). I loved him very much...even tho he treated me very badly...i was pretty much his personal assistant...i watched his son (constantly), did his laundry, cooked, i did everything for him. It actually got to the point that if he needed a beer (or drink) he would not have to ask i just got up and got it for him.(just one example) I think my behavior stems from always being a people pleasor...to the point that i am always used...by everyone! Well About two months ago...we were having problems..and i decided that i needed to grow a back bone, grow up and take care of myself before anyone else. Well now that we are completley over...im worried that i jumped the gun! if u cant tell by what i wrote above i am a very emotional person...and i dont know if i can handle military life....i want to be my own person. Be responsible. Not so codependent. But im worried i hurried into somethin that i should have thought more about...When i think about what i want to do with my life..i just want to go! Leave this town and get away from all the people that use me...im a strong person i know this...no one could put up with the things that i put up with(just because i love them) so knowing when i set my mind to something or someone and i can completly withstand anything...im worried that i can not do it for myself...So my question is should i think more about my navy life...or should i finally believe in myself? and do something just for me?

have you tried talking to a therapist? Sounds like you have quite a few personal issues to deal with before you move forward in life.

This belongs on another forum unless there is something specific to Colorado Springs.

Well, she mentioned the military, so I beleive that has alot to do with Colorado Springs.

I understand what you're going through hun. I was in a simiar situation.

Just remember, there's other guys in Colorado Springs that arent in the army.

I think the OP will get more advice on the "realationship forum", so I have moved it there.

I think you have a lot of soul searching to do and that is best done alone.
Best of luck to you.
