Do Marine girlfriends cheat?
Oh man I have a lot to say to you. I've dated three Marines and I'm currently in a relationship with the first one I ever dated, my best friend. I'm writing a book on USMC relationships so here goes. 1) A lot of Marine girlfriends DON'T cheat. The stories you hear are all the negative ones about the men who got left because their girlfriends slept with someone else or decided to leave them for someone else. Why do you only really hear about those? It's because those are the only ones that people can really relate to, they are interesting, they are dramatic. People like that kind of stuff. 2) Marine girlfriends have gotten a bad rep for cheating because Marines are told throughout boot camp that their girlfriends and wives are cheating. It breeds mistrust in relationships. A lot of times that attitude is just developed with the Marines, a lot of them decide not to date because they hear one of their buddies go through a bad relationship like that. 3) I've been cheated on by a Marine, it hurts. It's not just the Marine girlfriends that cheat but the Marines themselves. It works both ways. 4) People say that the distance is why Marine girlfriends cheat but that's not true. Marine girlfriends cheat because they aren't good girlfriends. That's just the fact of the matter. The bad ones give all the good ones a negative image. It's not fair to group all of them together. 5) Marine girlfriends know that they follow "Semper Fidelis" just as much as the Marines do. We're "Always Faithful" to our Marines, just as they are to their Corps. It's hard to be a Marine girlfriend and very few women can handle it. But those who can, don't cheat. I hope that helps.

Is it hard being a marine's girlfriend?
I've been with my boyfriend for about 6 months now and i've seen or talked to him everyday for the last year. We are very much in love and we are starting to look towards the future. My boyfriend use to be a marine and then was discharged about 2 years ago, since then he has been in construction and he's starting to hate it...As a result he wants to go back to the military (marine's). I'm scared as hell because he's going to be away and i'm not use to that, also it worries me that he will probably be sent overseas to war. I dont want to talk him out of it, even though i have been doing that, because later on in life he might hate me if he realizes it was a mistake not to go...i need help to understand his decision and it would help if i knew what to expect...i love him so much and i dont want him to go but he loved it when he was in. I don't know what to do, i'm confused and hurt at the same time because he's going to leave me and war is scary just to think about...will it get any easier? someone help me please
Is it hard to be a marine girlfriend?
Honastly i probably shouldnt anser this because im a male in the Army but in my opinion is the only thing a guy wants is to have you still there for him because ive known a lot of guys were their gf has dumped them during bootcamp. so if u love him and he loves you it will all work out and he should be able to contact you via letters during training and the other way around. PS good luck i hope you to end up happy. Wtf Kimberly your being rude and negative. please try to be a bit nice and optimistic cause you make us soldiers look like gerks!
How often would I get to see my girlfriend if I join the Marine Corps and work in the intelligence field?
Thank you for the A2A Edward SeverinsenMy short answer is if the Marine Corps did not issue you the girlfriend, then you must not need one.There is some truth in this statement. In the past, the wives moved with the armies. Today, that does not happen. When you are in garrison, you will have time to be together. Of course, you will have to stay on base, or go off base without BEQ, since you are not married. The Corps will make it difficult for you. Being assigned to a barracks, you will have to muster with your squad when it is your duty night. As a married Marine, I just had to stay next to my phone. (Believe it or not, there was a time before cell phones.)When you are deployed, forget about your wife and girlfriend. You have a full time 24/7 job to worry about. When on liberty, you can call her. Oh, I think you can email in today’s military.The other condition is when you are in the field. I am not sure how much intelligence will be in the field. Forget about her at that time also.When you earn the title Marine, you life and priorities change. You have no life, and your priorities are the Marine Corps’ priorities.
How do I stop caring about my girlfriend going into the marines? My girlfriend is going into the marines, and it emasculates me. I don't want it to bother me, so I can support her better.
You can’t. At least not immediately.You feel the way you do, because you want to be a provider, someone whom she can rely on whenever and for whatever. However, you’re associating her job with who she is as a person too much. Did you two become a couple, because you thought she would be ‘under’ you or ‘inferior’ to you for your entire lives? You might not actively think like that, but…Here’s the thing, since you were a kid, you were brought up a certain way, conditioned to believe in certain things. So it is impossible for you to suddenly change your thought process right now. What you can instead do, is wait it out and tell yourself that this isn’t about men and women. Instead, this is about American citizens who want to do good, by contributing a part of their lives to the nation. Specifically for your situation, you can remind yourself just how proud you are that your girlfriend is able to become a Marine. It’s a difficult feat, with a long journey that doesn’t pay that well. Yet here she is, proud of her uniform, ready to serve. You should support her with everything you’ve got. Tell yourself that this isn’t about you and her. This is about giving back to the nation that has given you two a place to call home.
How do I tell my girlfriend that I'm joining the Marine Corps?
Tell her how much she means to you. Tell her you have to do this. Say you will do your very best to return to her. Tell her this will make you the beginning of a real man. If she cares for you, she will understand. Don’t lie about anything. Tell her you are doing this for duty, honor and country. Say that she plays an important part of that. And lastly, tell her you hope she understands. Say that if we are mean’t for one another, God will bring us together again.
What can I expect being the girlfriend of a new marine?
Sounds like you guys are getting off to a great start. Long distance relationships require a lot of trust so it's good that you have that. My husband is also a Marine and we are living apart from each other for the time being (just till April). So I know what you are dealing with. You will need to be understanding that there will be times when he can't talk or doesn't feel like talking if he's stressed out. You will also need to understand that there is a brotherhood between Marines so his "brothers" will become a very important part of his life. Don't feel left out or that they're taking your place in his life, because that's not the case. They will just be another important part of his life and he will want time to bond with them and do whatever it is that they like to do (hanging out, video games, drinking, etc.) I guess that's my best advice, just to be understanding and patient. Loving someone in the military requires a lot more patience than we want to put out sometimes, especially during deployments. One more thing - if you guys are really serious about each other he might start to bring up marriage sooner than you think. For some reason young Marines are so quick to get married. My advice, just be sure you guys marry for the right reasons and when the timing is right. Don't just get married because it's an easy answer to getting rid of the long distance and being away from each other so much.
Can a Marine girlfriend live on base with her boyfriend after bootcamp?
