whats do you you want to achieve? goals or other wise? what do you want?

I'm in the environmental field. I guess my goals are that I want to make a difference, do important work and make good money. Have a family with 3+ kids, have a dog a house out in the woods somewhere.
I guess that's where some of my doubts about the gf come from, I feel like she might be holding me back.. but she's also the first girl I've been with this long who I vibe good with.. but then her sexual history feels like I'm settling too in a sense

what steps have you been taking to achieve this. Can you find this in the military?
>I feel like she might be holding me back
In what ways?
>but then her sexual history feels like I'm settling too in a sense.
Im not sure what you mean.
How long have you been with this gf?

The military would give me the 3-5 years experience I would probably need for my ideal job, look really good on my resume and if I stayed in I might be able to join DART (disaster assistance response team)
She'd be holding me back cause I'd be moving to be with her, not taking the military route. She's going to school for a year, I'd be working in a semi related job to my field, but the current job is more manual labour and wouldn't look as good as the army position. She doesn't want to move in with me at this point, she feels that's moving too fast.
Her and I hooked up in high school, apparently I was her 2nd. We had a thing for a month which I had a really good feeling about, but then I went to a party and she was there with another guy that night. I used to do a lot of drugs back then and I had been seeing other girls at the same time, but I always felt hurt by that. In between that and when we re-met she's been with 20+ dudes. I've been with like 10 chicks. She's not proud of her past, and we get along well but the past pisses me off sometimes, she would have been perfect if it worked out the first time.
