I'm thinking I might want to move with him wherever he gets stationed

After seeing my boyfriend for a few days after not seeing him for 2 months I thought a lot about what it's like without him. He's my best friend in the whole world and things just aren't the same without him. The time I spent with him this past weekend was so carefree and I didn't care about anything but being with him. But now that I'm home, all i think of is how much I wish I could be wherever he is because I'm just not happy here without him. What I would absolutely love to do is relocate myself to wherever he gets stationed. Right now, most of my classes are online and I'm able to get my whole bachelor's degree online through my school. So the only thing I'd have to worry about is finding a school to get my master's at. I honestly wouldn't mind moving to wherever he'll be stationed, but I don't think my parents would like it at all. I just wish they could understand how much I need to be with him and that i"m not truly happy unless I'm with him and not so far apart. I have a little while to think about things and talk to my boyfriend. I know he'd absolutely love it if I was with him. He's always texting me about how much he misses me and wants to be together instead of so far away. Thinking about being with him in the same state makes me so happy and I really hope things work out so that I can go out to wherever he is, because being with him is something that would make me truly happy.

courtknee: Yes. This is a good move. In fact in USA normally girls do not move out of their place because they cannot get a job easily in the other location. You seem to be taking a right direction or moving out to the place where your boyfriend is staying. Yes of course can you think of getting married so that it makes issues clearer--he will have responsibility and you also will have commitment and responsibility. think. convince your parents. Are you sure this move will not affect your studies? it is because you are keen on getting a masters. You are doing masters in which subject? blessings and good wishes. good day.

Moving wouldn't affect my studies because I'd find schools and stuff wherever I may go. I'm almost done with my bachelor's in psychology and I can do all of my classes online. I either want to get my master's in psychology or social work and i can find a school wherever he may get stationed. This is something I Really want to do and it would make me happier than I am now. I can't stand being so far apart from him and I know he'd love for me to move with him. I just don't think my parents would like it very much

Moving to where he is may not be as you would think. If he has responsibilities that would take him over seas or to other duty stations for training from time to time it would still leave you alone and missing him And in a place you do not know. I am not saying Don't do it I am just thinking you have more to think about before making this decision.

I've already thought about that before and I know that it wouldn't be too fun. But at least if I were near or on his base, I could talk to other army gfs/fiances/wives who are going through the exact same thing. It's definitely a hard thing to go through but I'm prepared to be with him no matter what. Once I find out where he's stationed I'll be able to think even harder about things and what I'll do.

I could just see how your parents is going to get stressed out with this. In any case, you just have to have a really big talk with them. Make them understand, and make them accept this decision of yours. It's going to be tough. Goodluck!

They'd definitely freak out lol. I still haven't made any decisions yet, but moving with him is something I'd really like to do. If the time comes, I'll really have to make them understand why I'm doing it and that I'd still continue with all my schooling like I would've done if I still lived at their house. We'll see where things go lol

being with someone you love is really heaven. but my dear, there's always proper time for everything. you are still studying right now so i think, it is right and appropriate if you'll focus yourself on your study first. make yourself busy with your school. make your parents proud and happy by giving them good grades. your boyfriend should also do the same. make each other your inspiration for the good future you want to enjoy together. when the time is already proper and right. i may sound killjoy, but someday, when you become a mother yourself too, you will realize what i am telling

No, I do understand what you're saying and I do get it. No matter how busy I try to make myself I still think about how my boyfriend isn't here and we're so far apart. If I were to move, I can still finish my school all through online classes and get my bachelor's degree. So school isn't really the problem, my real problem is what my parents would think if I told them I'd like to move with him.

I would do the same thing if I was you. Your parents will have to accept that your grown and you have the right to be with the one you love! Every military spouse/girlfriend goes with their man. It is normal. My sister in law went with my brother where ever he went even before they were married. I hope you get to do that so you can be happy!

This is something that I really want to do and I know that both of us will be a lot happier. I wouldn't let this get in the way of me finishing school. One way or another I'd find a school to go to so I can get my masters once I get my bachelor's. I know he's already thinking of proposing, he just has to save up enough money to buy a ring. Even though I'm 20, I think my parents still see me as a little kid and I'm not sure how they'd take it if I told them I want to move with my boyfriend. But I know this is what I really want to do and I know I'd be so much happier than I am right now. Hopefully it somehow works out :)
