I Had A Fight With My Boyfriend

And it seems like a big one

I just flew home for the weekend and the boyfriend picked me up from the airport like the sweetie that he is. We got to my parent's house a few hours ago and were hanging out with m&d in the kitchen just chilling and talking.

Some background ... About three weeks ago I got invited to apply to something pretty prestigious. I'm currently in the Navy and this is not something that everyone does. I don't want to go into details, but it's kinda a big deal. I Skyped with mom about it and she was 100% completely against it. It would change the direction of the job I would have within the Navy and she was not in favor. Based on her reaction, I didn't tell the boyfriend about it at all. But I did tell my commanders that I was all in.

Anyway, fast forward back to tonight standing around the kitchen counter and my mom brings it up and looks at the boyfriend and says she hopes he can talk some sense into me. He played it cool at first but the look on his face made it pretty clear that this was the first he was hearing of it and he wasn't happy about that. Mom apologized to me quickly and said it looked like we needed to talk. Ya think? 🙄

Anyway, he and I walked out front and stood leaning on his truck for an hour "talking." Lot's of not nice things were said, some loudly. Finally he left saying he needed to go cool down before he said anything he didn't mean (as if everything he said up to that point he meant).

So I know I screwed up. Relationships are built on openness and trust. But nothing in this decision changes my total commitment time to the Navy (although it is a decision that would help advancement if I did decide to stay in longer). Ugh, anyway, instead of being out on a date, I'm sitting at the desk in my old room trying to figure out if he's going to call me.

@Vivaci Thx

Vivaci

@sarabee1995 You should have a word with Mom though....our Mom's always step on the wrong foot! 🤨

@Vivaci When I talked to her about it two weeks ago, she asked if I had told him yet. I said, "not yet," and she assumed that meant I was going to be telling him soon, which actually I was. It wasn't until after my Skype with her that I decided not to tell him.

Vivaci

@sarabee1995 Still....you'll be surprised how often they have that Oops moment....😑🙄

Talking from a lot of unnecessary experience here....😣

@Vivaci yep ... I think so

Vivaci

@TexChik Isn't that the truth? 😅🤭

@sarabee1995 See? You don't have to worry....🤗😘

@Vivaci Big ooops. 🤦‍♀️ But I should've thought to tell her not to bring it up. I just didn't know that we were going to be hanging with m&d at all this weekend.

Vivaci

@sarabee1995 It happens... don't blame yourself, coz I think you did the right thing.

Just hope he understands and supports your decision. 🤗
