I don't think I have ever seen anyone cry like that.. Is there anything I can do to make her happier?

Replies kaylar28 Posted at 4:44 pm on Nov. 18, 2008 follow your heart not your head she cant control your life though, but if its going to ruin your relationship and you want it to go somewhere with her then sometimes you need to make sacrifices( such as not joining) but if its something you truely want to do..and your willing to risk a relationship on it..then u gotta do it but theres no way really to make her happy, unless you dont go. lizzy4312 Posted at 1:46 pm on Nov. 18, 2008 try to explain to her and talk more about your feelings. losersmonkey Posted at 1:46 pm on Nov. 18, 2008 not go???

Don't say ''fine I'll stay, and I wont join the navy'' just because she wants you to. Do what YOU want to do. Depends...sometimes you have to make compromises in a relationship? and the compromise is that she will deal with whatever feelings she might have so he can continue his career bornonmars75 Posted at 1:37 pm on Nov. 18, 2008 chocolate Lulamae Posted at 1:36 pm on Nov. 18, 2008 THOSE were the hardest 15 minutes of your life? Whoa, just wait till real life gets started... PrintingFreak Posted at 1:36 pm on Nov. 18, 2008 i know what would cheer her up, join the Army... jk I was in a similar predicament . you could tell her that your doing it to better your self, as well as open up better options for your self down the road and give back to your country and once she see's (in a few weeks or so) how happy it makes you she will be happy too. PS GOOD LUCK lonelyone Posted at 1:34 pm on Nov. 18, 2008 Why? Lulamae Posted at 1:28 pm on Nov. 18, 2008 Quote: from SavannahNoel at 10:21 pm on Nov. 18, 2008 Hey, it's not her life. It's yours.

Chocolate Thunda Posted at 1:27 pm on Nov. 18, 2008 My mom cried like a baby when my brother told her. Eventually, if she loves you enough she'll understand why you did it. She wont like it, but she'll support you. rawr41507 Posted at 1:26 pm on Nov. 18, 2008 Just explain it to her. She should understand, she may not like it, but it's not her choice, it's yours.
