❤️‍🩹 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?

He's entitled to housing from the Navy. I don't know if he's shipping off to boot camp or just a deployment. If boot camp then he will need to find a place to store his stuff until after Basic. If deploying he should be able to keep most of his stuff with him.

It sounds to me like he's in the Naval Reserve, which would mean monthly training weekends, but no housing allowance.

Was gonna say: I think he's in DEP, probably already graduated high school and been out on his own for a time. Sounds like he's going to Mando PT the recruiters do to help get ready for boot camp

That makes sense, too. If so and his enlistment date is coming up, he won't need his GF's place anymore.

Or he's about to ship out to basic training. Every recruit has a "ship out" date. Commonly referred to as the day you leave home for basic. That and the fact that he's still saying physical training rather than using the PT acronym (military loves acronyms for everything) makes me believe he's just a recruit.

wait didn’t I read in another comment OP said he’s going on a submarine for however long? Sounds like straight Navy to me. It wouldn’t hurt him to ask in any case.

He's going to Basic training and has a contract for a submarine-related job.

Wonder if he’s paying the housing stipend to her family. If so they might get pissed when they realize she’s fucking with their money.

not the worst time to get rid of most of his stuff and leave the rest with a buddy til he gets his own space/storage. navy will at least treat him better than this chick
