I always wear my Marine Corps sweatshirt and I have a liscense plate that says "My heart belongs to a US Marine". Plus other things. I love to show my pride. How do you all show your pride?

What do you like about being part of the military family?

I love the fact that no matter who I meet who has a loved one in the military, there's an immediate bond with that person. We just understand each other. What do you like?

Frustrated...

So I need advice!!! I'm so frustrated and ughh I don't know.  My boyfriend gets mad at me if I'm busy or can't talk to him on facetime or the phone when I'm doing other things.  I know a lot of people are like well talk to him every chance you get, but sometimes I'm legit busy.  He only has work during the day and then gets off at 5 and goes to work out and stuff.  Me on the other hand, I have school 5 days a week and the latest I get done is 1220 in the afternoon (he's still working) and because I am an Elementary Education major, I have a placement where I go to a classroom and observe and teach lessons and by the time I'm done with that he's still working.  I also am on the soccer team here at my school and it's pretty much a year round sport.  Our season is in Fall but we also have a Spring season and I have practice.  Our practice times are all over the place ranging from 4 in the afternoon to midnight.  It's never the same and I have workouts that I have to do on top of that.  Along with that stuff, I have a babysitting job that is three times a week till 6.  (Sometimes I have practice after that).  By the time I'm all done with that stuff I still need to do homework and there are nights where I just want to relax and hang out with my roommates and watch the TV shows we usually watch together, and he's already going to bed.  My boyfriend gets mad at me and says that I'm too good for him and I have no time for him and everything. It's so hard for me because I have so much going on and being Captain of my soccer team, I have to be to the soccer events and so many people count on me and it's over-whelming.  It's not that I'm too good for him but there's one night of the week where it's my day.  I'm not avoiding him or anything.  I just have so much more going on than he does and I don't think he sees that and it's super frustrating.  I wish he would understand, but he doesn't, and if I want to talk and he can't I am super understanding.  I don't know what to say to him or what to do.  It's not like I don't talk to him period, we talk a lot and facetime a lot.  But if there is one day he gets SO mad at me, then he's like maybe you should just be single (saying it out of being mad).  It's not my fault... I just don't know what to do and it kills me every time! This happened last night and my stomach is in knots... What do I do? :(

Thanks everyone, I appreciate it! :) 

I will definitely use some of these ideas! 

it's not like i'm not paying attention to him and stuff, because i will facetime him or talk to him on the phone whenever, but there have been a few times where i haven't been able to. i hope he doesn't go away from me and get attention somewhere else, i know he talks to his mom, but her and i are close.  so we talk and stuff.  sometimes he doesn't talk to either of us so idk.  he can be weird sometimes. i just wish he would understand it all, i tried talking to him once about it but clearly it didn't register to him so looks like i'll have to do it again. i'm not being mean to him or anything. i'm always understanding about what he is doing and flexible with his schedule.  sometimes he schedule changes as well, he just needs to realize! 

Thanks again to all of you! :)

I'm gonna disagree with Gabriela, I think he needs to realize how busy you are and that you try your best. When he's off doing training, would you expect him to drop everything to talk to you? No, its not possible. We have to work around each others schedules, you can't change your life just to talk to him and he needs to understand that. I would suggest trying to find one time a week where you can talk for a long time and see if that helps. And if he does find the attention elsewhere, then he doesn't deserve you. He needs to be understanding.  My fiance is deployed, and sometimes I just can't answer his calls but he understands that, he knows I have to work and go to school, we just do our best and talk when we can.  Hope that helps!

omgg you are a very busy person , lol; but im not trying to take sides but hes away from you & he needs someone to talk to . like if you dont give him the attention he needs hes gonna find it somewhere else . & for him he needs to realize that you have alot of stuff going on & that he needs not to get mad over it thats like you getting mad cause hes away all the time but its his job to be away just like its your life your preparing for your future  .
