Is it wrong for me to not want my boyfriend to go to the Navy? He already went and took a test to see what he was qualified for. He was telling all the wonderful things they can do, like pay for a house and things such as that. I personally, do not want him to go away anywhere, but I told him if that's what he wants to do I can't stop him. This could possibly be because he is depressed about not having a job and I don't want him to make a mistake because of this. Any advice on this would help. Thanks!!!

Thank you for your answers. I do not want to stand in his way one bit, it is his choice and his life and I don't control that. I hope he does make the right decision for him and me. We have been together 1year and ALMOST 7 months. I just wouldn't know what to do without him, but I do love him with all my heart so I would stand behind him all the way. Thanks again!!!!

maxsteel86 agony auntI almost joined the RAF as an engineering officer. I thought it would have been one hell of an experience which is true. But then I decided I couldn't go so long without seeing my girlfriend so gave up on that. I dont regret the decision one bit. My point is, if you really talk to him about how you feel and stuff, you may still be able to convince him not to join! There are plenty of other jobs available I'm sure.

But if he is seriously set on joining, then tell him to sign up for the short service (that was 3 years for the RAF, think its 4 in the navy). Just out of curiosity, why the Navy? That's the crappiest of all the armed forces!

omg hun i totaly know how you feel. my bf decided to join the army once we had been together 1year7months. i was distraught, i wasnt happy with him going and i ended up ruining our relationship. we split up but luckely got back together 3months later. he has now been in the army just over 3months and im not gonna lie a forces relationship is the hardest thing i have ever done but if you truly love this bloke you wont stand in his way.

im not sure if the navy is the same as the army but if it is there is a window where he can leave. if the navy is not what he truely wants then im sure he will use this window and climb out of there.

i know from experience that you cant stop him doing this, maybe you could have a convo with him and say if this is what you truely want then i am behind you but i cant help but think you are doing this because etc.

HTH xXx
