Hey everyone, been having trouble with my relationship lately. I am in the U.S. Marine Corps, and in california. I am from chicago and so is my girlfriend. We started dating 3 weeks before i went to boot camp and she wrote me everyday and came to my graduation in san diego. There was a scare for her i would be stationed in japan but i am going to north carolina in april. The thing is, this girl is the perfect wife material. She cares about me and absolutely loves me and would never cheat on me. Sh treats me soo good even my family likes her. But the problem is, im 19, im not ready to settle down in a long term, long distance relationship anymore. I really do love the girl, im just not ready. In some way i want to be single and explore the world. Being in the marines, i will be doing just that. I want to be like i was when i was single, going out, parties, clubs, and having fun. I dont want to settle down, and in some way, i just dont like being tied down especially to someone whos far away. The scarier part is, this girl ive been with, ive only been with for 7 months, and ive only been actually home to see her not even 50 days throughout our relationship, and she said she would marry me already. Plus she says she wants to last forever even right after we started dating, and has become obsessed with me. She constantly puts stuff about me all over her facebook, texts, instagram etc. She even wants to move whereever i go. Its just gotten crazy. We have only been together for 7 months, and theres more to it. I feel like she just wants to run away from home to get away from her family. I told her no to marriage and her living by me, shes just taking it too fast. Its scary. When we fight, she gets so upset that i have to get her to calm down and she can get jealous easily. I dont know, i dont want to break the girls heart, because it would hurt her bad and plus i feel like id regret it in the future because shes such a great girl. What should i do? I love her but im torn, i want to be single but i also want to be with her. Im torn between wanting to be with her because i love her but i also want to be free again. The distance has put a toll on me, especially since im not ready to settle down. When im with her everything is fine, but since im away i want to explore the world, date others, and kinda find myself. Another thing is my girlfriend has had 4 times the sexual parners as me, and i feel less because of it. I dont know i just want to be free yet i know i want to be with my girl. Other then these problems, we are perfect, she really is the perfect girl. I just dont want regrets in the future. Thanks.

Hey everyone thanks for reading. So long story short, my gf and i have been together for 6 months. About 3 weeks after we started seeing each other i left for boot camp in the Marine Corps. Fast forward, she comes and sees me for my graduation from chicago in san diego and has been very loyal to me. Since then ive just been training and now she is coming to visit me again here in california. I am very excited to see her, ive gone home twice already once after boot camp and once for christmas. She is the best girl ive ever had. She cares about me, loves me to death, always there for me, and is loyal. She is definitely wife material. Heres the problem. We are both only 19, and shes ready to get married. I definitely am not.

In fact, part of me kinda wants to be single again. And i feel so bad about it. Im young, im 19, im on my own. Im ready to see the world, party, work hard, and have a fun life. Im very limited in this long distance relationship. Shes not here, but i cant really do these things. To give you guys a background on me, before i use to be a huge party type, go to clubs, throw parties, drink, and have new girls a week. I wasnt an asshole or anything, never have cheated or even broken any hearts. I thought i was a relationship guy, but i proved myself wrong. I really do love her, but im just so young to "settle down" especially after boot camp. My friends here and my best friends at home are having a great time being single. I love to chase and party. But when im in a relationship, im loyal. Heres the thing, i dont want to lose my gf, shes perfect for me.

But a part of me gets upset knowing shes had 4 times the sexual partners then me in the past. I want to have fun being single then settle down, but shes totally ready. Shes told me she wants to be together forever, and wants to get married, which scares me. Ive been home maybe a month out of our 6 month relationship. And i could be getting stationed in japan. I feel theres no point in staying if i go there. But even if i stay in the States, a part of me just wants to be single again and i just cant get rid of the feeling. I love her, shes the perfect girl but not the perfect time.

Im torn, and i feel bad about even having these feelings because of how great she is. In one way, if it ends because i wanna be single, i could regret 5 years or so down the line, yet if I stay, i could resent it down the line and wish i didnt settle down too soon. Although some pressure she has given me about marriage, she backed off when i gave her my opinion. And i dont want to get married for financial reasons too. I really do love her and she loves me, and i dont want to lose her yet i dont want to be tied down so young and i would never cheat, especially with my life being in the Marine Corps. Everyone tells me do whats right for me, but I dont know what that is. And thats killing me. Any advice?

When theo took over he promised to rebuild the team, but all I'm seeing is him trading away real talent the cubs need like Garza and now talking about soriano. I just don't understand how you rebuild a team when you get rid of actual talent, if we want to see a postseason in the next few years this isnt the way to do it. Thoughts?

So first, im leaving for Marine Corps boot camp on august 19th. Im a cart pusher at a store. I just graduated high school. I was with this one girl when I first started working there. We broke up, and i learned this really cute girl in produce thought i was cute. So after some months we finally got each others numbers and hung out alone and with other co workers. We kissed and everything, she even invited me to her house one night alone but nothing happened. anyways shes 21 and when i first started talking to her she knew i was in high school yet still gave me a chance. She told me a lot about her past because she wanted to be honest and it seemed like she wanted a relationship.

Well things started to slow down a bit but she was busy. In all this time we got to know each other i really started to like her but finally i didnt know where things were going so i asked her. She told me she likes me but that im leaving in august and she doesnt know. She said she wishes i wasnt leaving and that we should just stay friends to not complicate things until i come home permanently and that if we are both single, we should pursue each other again. I was upset. I really was willing to have a relationship with her and then a long distance relationship with her and make it work. Shes a great girl and i really like her, and she didnt want me mad at her. I told her i wasnt. At first i kinda stopped talking to her for a few days, i needed to clear my head. I was playing a little hard to get and thought about dropping the whole thing.

But i realized that wasn't smart and that if i drop her, theres no chance in the future. Things seem to have gone back to normal, but I still am worried. I really liked her and even teared up after but ive recovered mostly. I just dont know where things will be in 4 years. I dont plan on getting into a relationship really while im gone because im planning on coming home to chicago and i dont want to be tied down somewhere else. But i dont know about her if she will still be here or if she will be single. Ill try my best to keep this all going, but any suggestions? I just dont want to get disapointed in the future. I have a great future planned with the Marines, college, thinking about being a cop or going to law school and living on my own and right now it would be great if i could have her a part of it, but im just undure.

I dont know if i should just move on and drop the whole thing or be friends with her and see where things are going when i get back. Right now ive just gone low contact to kinda get her to see things have changed with this conversation and that i could really walk out. But i legitimately teared up for this girl which i never do only for my first gf who cheated on me and just wanted to be with her. What should i do? Play hard to get, drop her all together, or stay friends. Its going to be so hard to move on when i see her a lot and that if i do, it makes me look like the bad guy and ruin all chances with her if i drop her out of my life. Shes a very honest girl so i think she was telling the truth that she likes me im just lost. Thanks a lot.

First, im a pretty confident guy but I can tense up when it comes to becoming physical with girls. Im very good at getting a girls number, having dates, and getting them to like me, but i screw up in the department of putting the moves on them. So last night i was at this girls house who i met at work, shes 21 im 18 and im graduating high school today so I was shocked shes liked me because of the age difference. We've had 2 official dates before this and have hung out with other co workers twice. Shes been very open about her past and has been honest with me and she told our mutual friend and co worker she likes me. We also had our first kiss on our second date. But anyways, last night we were just at her house watching tv all alone and for some reason i could just not make a move. I feel like i dont know how and would be willing to of course if i did. I kissed her at the end of the night and left. Im frustrated with myself because this girl threw herself at me in some ways but was waiting for me to make the move. I have had this problem in the past getting physical with some but not all, but i just need to advice on how to get into it like kissing her, cuddling, etc. I like to make everything a joke but i just need some advice. I feel like i screwed up but what should i do know next time we hang out? She seemed happy i kissed her goodnight, see thats easy for me. But when im next to a girl at a movie or on the couch, i just tense up and dont know how to put the moves on her. I appreciate the advice, thanks.

I need advice on how to completely move on from my ex or get her back. I met her at a new years party and she's sooo cute and we really liked each other, by the end of January it was official. But then we started fighting that she started over me not being physical but we never got alone time, it was always with friends, so I never became 100% comfortable. She also said she wasn't wanting a relationship before college since we are seniors and I leave for the Marines in august. So then she takes a break, starts drama, then decides she wants to be just friends because she didn't want a relationship I guess. So I've barely talked to her and she texted me a few times high and even said she missed me. I was going to invite her to a party, but she was drunk and didnt bother inviting me to hers yet still talked and asked if I missed her. Honestly she won't get outta my head. We dated for 2 and a half weeks and I didn't even see her almost the entire last week we dated, so I never got the chance to see her face to face with our problems.She texted me all our problems and broke up over a text. I feel like theres unfinished business and I really like her, and she probably still likes me, but I feel like I'm wasting my time here. What do I do?

So I work at meijer, its a huge store like Wal-Mart. So I'm a shopping cart guy meaning I'm usually in the parking lot or the front. So theres this cute girl that works in produce and literally produce is by the front door. My coworker who is also a shopping cart guy told me she thinks I'm cute since he's friends with her. Anyways I'm not a shy guy but to me it feels weird because we work in different departments and it would be hard to talk to her. Plus I'm 18 in high school, and am months away from shipping out to Marines boot camp, while she's 21 and in college. I know she has a facebook since shes in my coworkers friends list but the only thing I've said to her is hi when he introduced me to her and that was a while ago. Now everytime I see her she looks at me and seems interested. What should I do?

I'm 18 and a senior in high school. I've already enlisted in the Marine Corps and ship out to san diego in august. I do have a question though. See, I'm a very social, nightlife person. I love to party, go to clubs, drink, and meet people. I wanna know what life is like when your stationed and living in the barracks and what the barracks are like and their rules. I also would like to know what life is like working as a Marine as I'm doing infantry so ill probably be in North Carolina or camp Pendleton. No, I would not quit if I couldnt have a party life and I'm not joining to have a fun life I'm joining because I wanna serve this country and being a Marine is very important to me. I just wanna know what life is like as a Marine with working, the kinda social life Marines have, and what the barracks are like. Thanks

I usually get my hair cut very short, like a one on the sides and very short on top. I can spike my hair pretty easily when its short and i get my hair thinned out. But i dont want to get my hair cut as short this time today, i want to have it cut but longer. The problem is my hair is very hard to spike when it grows out. Ill get my hair thinned out like i always do, but since this time my hair will be longer, so maybe that'll make a difference. But what can i do to make my hair spike better. My hair gets curly/wavy and gets very thick. Should i use a hair straightener? And if i do my hair will still be short so wont it be hard to use? Last, i use axe putty or gel for my hair.

ok so i usually get a fade where i have it a 1 on the sides of my head and finger length o top and i spike my hair up. I usually let it grow for almost a month and get another haircut. Well now ive let my hair grow and while its grown out, i want to get another haircut but change it up. I want to faux hawk my hair, or have longer spikes on top now. Before my spikes were really short and now i want it to be grown out. How should i tell the barber/hair stlylist this time to cut my hair? Should i get it faded again but keep it longer? And should i have the top kept the same as now? Right now my hair has grown out but not that long. I just dont want a really short haircut again and want a longer, grown out spiked or faux hawk cut look.

I went swimming and didnt jump in but I went under water and my ear started hurting bad at 8 feet deep. Now it really hurts. I dont know what to do I puit rbbing alcohol in my ear but theres still water in my ear. Is it swimmers ear or an infection? Because a few weeks ago my friend hit me in the ear really hard and is the same ear thats hurting tonight, what should I do?

Last night my girlfriend was at my house and my best friend is dating her best friend. I had some other friends over but my friend and his girl were in a bedroom and me and my gf were in my room. My friend and his gf didn't have sex because she's on her period. But me and my gf were about to do it for the first time. But my friends gf kept texting and then called my gf and ended the mood.

She wouldnt leave us alone and basically cock blocked me. My gf went in there and yelled but finally I fell asleep. This is not the only time this has happened, more like the third time. This girl just keeps stopping us from going any farther and has destroyed our privacy. It's bullshit.

My best friend even told her to stop but she wouldnt last night and he was pissed because she wasn't paying as much attention to him. He even asked why arent you leaving them alone, and she said i dont know. I mean cmon, me and my gf need privacy, I locked the door and still she managed to **** us over. Three times now and honestly ive kept my cool. But I dont want it to happen again and if it does ill explode. My best friend, my gf, and me are all pissed. What right does she have to stop us when she wants to have sex with her bf? I guess its ok for her to have sex but not me and my gf it's not fair and she needs to respect our privacy.

My best friend agrees. On top of that I'm moving into an apartment with my best friend and two others and possibly his gf. So privacy is extra needed. My friend says its ok if I talk to her and I want to tell her to back off and leave us be. But if I talk to her it could come out bad and go back to my gf who I like a lot. I plan on talking to my gf as well but I dont want any drama or anyone mad. How should I go about this? If she cant give us privacy then idk its going to mess up my relationship. What should I do? Btw me and my gf are virgins but her friend isnt a virgin and I'm not living at my house anymore.

I'm 17, 18 in december but I just learned my dad is moving back to my town and my mom is moving away. I dont want to live with my dad and I've already kinda lived on my own in his house. Not only would I lose that but my dad is crazy strict. I wont have any freedom. This may sound immature but I have demonstrated I can live on my own and have no criminal history except a seatbelt ticket. I would be living with two other friends, one is 18 and already moved out because he's in my house and the other is 17. By the time we do this we would all have jobs. I kinda have a job and I quit my last one. My job now I can start whenever after I get back home from my dads town, its my old job from last year. The other 17 year old has a job and working with his dad. The 18 year old worked with me at my last job but quit but might get set up with another few jobs. Overall I'm almost 18, no bad past, have lived by myself, and have a place I could stay at with 2 others and be able to support ourselves. I also might even get my moms consent and ill be enlisting in the Marines soon. I live in illinois.

I'm a conservative and believe in less taxes, regulation, and cutting spending. But to conservatives reagan is a hero but it seems he is not. Don't get me wrong he was a great speaker and was tough but his policies seemed to fail. He cut taxes for the rich which is fine but he raised taxes for the middle class. He caused a huge deficit and too many foreign policy blunders like Iran-contra and Lebanon. He also was not responsible for the Soviets collapse they were already finished. Yes I agree with reagan with most things but it seems he didn't do things the right way. I'm not social conservative but I am fiscal conservative and neo conservative and I do believe in less government. I hate occupy wall street but it seems like reagan didn't do things the right way. Plus he granted amnesty to illegals. Any CONSERVATIVES agree?
