competing with boyfriends sworn duty

Tweet

My co-worker's boyfriend is a soldier, after six months of being together h was deployed in a province then he went back after a week then 2 wks after that he was deployed in another place far from where we are then went back after a month now he is about to leave for a mission which will take him for three months or so and my co worker feel so bad about this. She said before she is seeing herself being married to this guy but now she's not sure anymore. I told her to b sure about it coz if not there's no sense of keeping the relationship going. I told her that once you married a soldier you must accept the fact that you are only second to his life his duty coms first above anything and anyone else. She really love that guy but she said she can't imagine giving birth without him beside her or even celebrating occasions like birthdays and anniversaries without him around. If you were in her position can you still take the guy?
