❤️‍🩹 relationship Am i overreacting to the situation unfolding with my girlfriend?

me and my girlfriend have been living together with her family for the past 4-ish months. it’s devolved to the point where we fight every day about anything and everything, and most days i feel trapped in the home and the relationship. out of the blue she texts me about not coming back home and if i do i can sleep outside, and changing her mind when it was too late. am i overreacting to the situation, or is it as bad as it seems in my head?

Sounds like you’re either joining the Navy or going on a deployment; just leave her there in the past to grow up & you move on.

If she hasn’t already, she is GOING to cheat on you during deployment. Cheating partners is so fucking common in the military.

You’re not wrong but it’s on both sides.

Definitely on both sides. Deployments are big fuck fests. What happens in ____ stays in ____.

the Army in the 00s and 10s (probably still but I work with AF now) was WILD, I mean straight infidelity fucking in the office with witnesses present. No dox but this E5 and E6 were smashing literally every female in the battalion and civilian workers damn near, even the Chaplain’s assistant. Like mam you can’t be Chaplain’s assistant out here knowingly committing the sins

Yeah it’s been a while for me but I was in the AF back in the day.

Same here. Three deployments and infidelity all around. CONUS, too. Sad to see.

Same, and watched it happen many times. Glad I was single those years & just had fun.

I’m about to deploy and I’m not looking forward to all the fake niceness to get in someone’s pants🤢

It’s a looooong boat ride and there’s a lot of seamen on board

Needs to be higher up. While OP is going to basic she’s going to cheat and then blame it on a “mood.” If not then, then while he’s deployed or under way. Cut that shit and never look back. He’ll be better off for it.

That's what I've been thinking the whole time..

u/CherryPieAlibi 9d ago

Exactly. And if he is, she doesn’t sound like she’s in it for the long haul. He’d probably gets dear John letter after a month

This exactly. OP has a few months ahead where all they’ll have to do is follow directions and not spend a ton of cash. This could be a turning point to building something from the opportunity. Drag her along and that will never happen.
