Just a Wish and a Prayer: My girlfriend wants to join a sorority...
As hard as this is to hear she doesn’t have to listen to you. You’re in a relationship, not a marriage. You’re both allowed to live individual, and independent, lives. She’s in college; she’s learning more about herself, growing as a person, and opening up to new people and experiences. Joining a sorority may be one of those experiences. It’s entirely her decision and as her boyfriend you should be supporting her. If it doesn’t go the way she hopes, and she’s hurting over whatever went wrong, be there for her. If it goes great and she loves it (like most women do) then be just as supportive. You’re not her father, you’re her boyfriend…emphasis on the friend. If she was shooting up heroin or doing something equally self destructive then yes, absolutely you could voice your concerns and be angry/hurt over her actions; but all she’s doing is joining a sorority, something COMPLETELY normal. In a few years you may look back at this and think how silly it was to be mad at the girl you loved over something so little. Wish you two luck!
Dear Tumblr,
I just need to rant before I fucking explode or something i don’t know. I can’t confront my girlfriend about this anymore because then we will just end up fighting. But anyway my girlfriend wants to join a sorority and I really really really really do not want her to. I know i should…
