when you love something let it go... by: Anonymous
...if it comes back to you, then it was meant to be.
Since you have made your feelings clear to her and she has reciprocated, but feels stuck, you should continue as friends, but stop pushing and reminding her what she already knows. You should go to the marines (semper fi) and live your life, but don't count her out. Sometimes people, especially women, need to see what they will be missing out on in order for them to fight for it....
My marine husband of 1 1/2 years (7 1/2 years together) and I have a wonderful relationship that started out similarly, but it has not always been so easy for us to be together. We did not fall in love in the beginning, but there was a definite connection that we both felt.
Unfortunately life took us in different directions and I truly feel as though the timing had to be right for things to work out. When the timing was right(3 years later) our lives intertwined again and we started dating. I didn't know if I wanted a serious relationship, but it took the teensiest bit of a threat of losing him for me to realize what I had to fight for.
He is not only the most amazing husband, but also the very best friend I could ask for. I love him more than life itself and he makes it obvious that he feels the same way for me. Time is precious and important. You both have things that you need to learn before you can fully appreciate what treasures you are in each others lives. It's can be a hard and long battle, but it's worth it and you can handle it marine! <3 Good luck!

Build on the Relationship by: Penny
The only thing I can say is if she truly wants to be with you as much as you want her, continue as you have been as boyfriend and girlfriend. Build on the relationship now and after she is free from her parents financial support, the two of you can decide then what to do next.
