yes

i want to retire from the military. i'll have more time for college and so will my wife. great invironment to raise kids(in my opinion). i new i wanted to go back into the military as soon as i got out. honestly i got out because i thought i would be single the rest of my life. now im married so im ready to go back in. i thought it was going to be hard to find a person who would not mind me joining the military but i got lucky. and i dont know what i would have done if she didnt want to go, it would be a really hard choice. luckily she sees more pros in joining the military. like she'll be able to stay home with the kids she wants to start having. only bad thing is we will be taking a serious income loss. but i can deal with that.

just tell her that if she was really putting YOU first, then she would realize the importance of your dreams and goals and that you realize the same about her. tell her you will try your best to find a happy medium were both your goals and love can be satisfied together. dont give her a yes or no, just tell her you will do your best to make both work, and that you love her.

damn, i give good advice too bad i cant think of this shit when i really need to say it.
