It sounds like you don't really deserve a person who wants to be involved. We are talking about servicemen who have been out doing their 'work' mainly with people from their own sex not really having any communication to the civilian world we live in. Unfortunately they don't have the knowledge on how to go about things because they were too busy, I don't know, serving for their country?
If you cared for them you would of spoken about this and asked them to slow it down a tad. We are talking about soldiers and marines here. Communication is key to them and they know the importance of it. They are not wired to understand the bullshit mind games you've probably put them through. They think in a way of "She would tell me if something is up right?"
You sound very stuck up, and there's plenty of women out there who would love to be involved and build a life with someone from that uniform. So stop talking about them like you deserve the perfect man going.
The younger Marines seem to have two extremes. They either just want casual sex or they want to introduce you to their mom 15-mins into first meeting you. It's kinda bizarre.
I thing being a military significant other is one of the hardest long distance relationship you can enter into. The majority that enter into this kinda of relationship are just kids that aren't prepared for this type of relationship.
Fast forward to their late 20's, if their still married and enlisted they're all bitter and burnt out as fuck. Not just Marines but most military.
It's the nature of their job, think about it. They are training, killing and using armed devices for a living. It's only normally for them to want a bit of normality in their lives, but because the nature of their work is so dark, a woman in their life to talk to is a god-send.
It's not a bad thing, think how you'd feel having to be in a long distance relationship while you work in the military, not knowing what your partner is up to on the outside, not being able to have any physical or even emotional contact. It builds up inside :)
My sister is dating a marine, and he isn't clingy at all. He texts, and etc but he doesn't go crazy. He doesn't love her any less either. I think it's just the men in general that you are going after. Although, clingy isn't necessarily a bad thing. You should be happy that someone cares enough to want to text/communicate with you 24/7. Most girls can't get that. So, be happy that you do.
maybe they're too much under pressure... I don't know

a lot of the time military guys come back and arnt exactly sure how to re intergrate themselves into society. As a result they tend to more often cheerish the little stuff. Also lots of them have seen the worst when it comes to war. Even in the reserves lots of crazy stuff happens. Its also could be that many Marines and soldiers leave and sometimes end up loosing connection to their own family and friends.
Some guys in the military want to marry quickly because themn they can live in their own place so some of them just marry the first girl they find to get various benefits such as being able to get their own place. This may explain the clinglyness.
I am dating a soldier and is the most beautiful thing it ever happened to me. These men are so emotionally and physically strong and I love the fact that he wants keep in touch with me all the time and i also love he is 'clingy" in a good way , as I am with him cause I love him and we are obsessed to each other. You should be happy to have someone who cares about you and especially to have a soldier as a partner, they risk their life every day serving their country, they are different and you should be proud to have them by your side if he is a good man.
They have to work... but there is a myth and tradition in the military that when someone is deployed overseas, the women will immediately cheat. It is programmed into every Marine and Soldier.
Ask him about "Jody", the mythological guy who is out their to grab his woman.
These are elite soldiers have been fighting, killing and seeing their best friends die, living months on end without anyone to love or someone to love them, flirt and message. Have a heart selfish bitch... fucking hell. This made me angry
Lmao I am not clingy moreover I hate clingy people, I feel like saying ''get the f*ck out of me''. Maybe they are clingy because being in Military isn't easy job, you don't have much time for your girlfriend, your family and even for yourself because of homeland's needs. So you miss people you love and it end up with you texting them often, maybe you could show them more tolerance cause of that reason.
Because of all the stories of soldiers going off to war and being cheated on while they're gone. It's like that tale about all the British soldiers coming back after WWII and finding out lots of their wives had gone off and married Americans who'd been based in England.
Most military men are betas. I'm former military, so I've seen it firsthand. That's why they can sign their life away to serve someone else's interests. It's also why they lose their minds over a little bit of pussy.
They are probably the type to live their life one day at a time, never knowing if there will be a tomorrow. So they do everything they do with passion.
They are young, possibly away from home for the first time. You might be the only aspect of their lives that gives them happiness.
Do not be creeped out. They want to hold you close and feel a connection with you.
That's because they might die one day, and want to spent the most possible time with their loved ones.
Probably because like every military girlfriend/wife cheats when he's deployed, so they need to know you're in 100% in early on so they don't get fucked over.
I come a massive military family and none of them are clingy at all.
Well duh, they don't know if that would be their last 'I love you' to you...
I agree it's because they're lonely and don't get much female interaction. Also they want to settle down fast
Because most people going to the army or marines are wusses who desire to be put under someone else, telling them what to do, etc.
I'm ex British Army , was always the reverse , I can be affectionate , but never clingy. Could be lack of female interaction as a possible theory.
The stereotype where I live is that they're jerks, lol.
Cause they might be shitting their pants cause they boutta die
maybe because they need to deposit their seed because they will die soon.
