I am thinking about getting an rodi unit but i dont know if it will be able to work with my water

I have to put softeners in my water. I have well water and its very hard. I do want to have to buy new cartridges like every week

You know what im saying

It is actually better to put the RO/DI unit after the water softner. The water softner will prevent mineral scale of your membrane. It's much better to get those mineral deposits out of the water and the membrane can handle sodium ions better than iron.
So go ahead
As a side note check your Home PSI after softner. Many people with well water may need a booster pump.

Agree.. Booster pump will probably be needed.. Get a Rodi unit with a water filled pressure Guage and a nice flush valve and u will be all set.. A tds isn't a bad option either

My recommendation on pump is a Shurflo gold series. Much quieter than the typical aquatec.

Most domestic well systems do not have enough pressure to operate a RO or RO/DI system so a RO booster is probably a must have item. You need a minimum of 40psi steady and higher is much better. Also as Devon said, make sure you measure the pressure after the softener as it will reduce available pressure a little. Either theShurflo or the Aquatec are good solid pumps but stay away from the imported clones, they are cheap for a reason.
