Military Families Support Group
Today's military family faces a lifestyle that is comprised of frequent deployments, which results in increased family separations. This often proves to be a stressful challenge for military families. This community is dedicated to the families that are dealing with the unique challenges of distance and military-related stress.
I am dating a Marine that I love dearly. However, sometime he has moody. I was wondering if anyone could shed some light on dating or being in a relationship with somone who is in the military. I know that he is under a lot of stress. He says that I am to needy and demanding and I dont understand the stress he is under. He will be promoted to Major next month. Will things get worst has he advances in his career?

Military families are notorious for extra problems for many reasons, but namely, a lot of moving around and a lot of time spent apart from each other...and there is a lot of stress, but he is a Marine, after all.
The military training is not exactly conducive (user-friendly) to warm relationships.
So your Marine, and each military man or woman, has to learn to seperate themselves from thier job in order to have a close emotional relationship with someone.
But he has to be willing to do that.
If he is not, you will have to decide whether or not you are going to put up with that, or move on.
Also you need to consider his overall personality. Not every emotional flaw is due to being in the military.
