    Leaving to Army , need help.
    Currently, I am 17 yrs old and shipping off to the army in June. My girlfriend and I have been together for 5months and we have been great. I told her the lossibility of me going to the army was great and she said she would stick by my side through it all. Im I'm planning to go to Active Duty as soon as I graduate and she knows that I could be gone for more than 6months at a time. Lately we have been arguing more and I would hate to say that but its because I'm closer to leaving. Is this an early sign , should I leave?

    The week or two before my dad would leave home to go to a conference, he would become a bit nasty and argumentative with my mom, his wife. She figured out early on that he was emotionally separating himself from her, so he wouldn't feel guilty for leaving.

    Maybe that is what your girlfriend is doing already -- emotionally separating herself from you, knowing she won't see you again for a long time. Or even unconsciously pushing for a break up. It's easier to say goodbye to someone you "dislike" and have fights with than it is to say goodbye to someone you are very close to.

    But will you have Skype and other electronic connections? Or better to just separate peacefully and let the future take care of itself?

    You will really like the letters in basic, ( and there is availability for some phone calls)
    I would not just break up, but wait and see what happens
