My boyfriend and I were discussing marriage....until I visited him on base. It seemed like a real life version of The Truman Show. At that very moment, I knew I would never want to be a military wife. We broke up 2 months later.

MODS my post didn't get posted it believe it was between 85325 and 85330 but none in between those got posted. Is there a reason? (it was about my boyfriend)

Moderator Response: All of those posts were gibberish. (xbysz) Not sure what happened there, but you may want to repost

I'm not sure how I feel about him talking to other girls. My boyfriend is deployed and I know he talks to other girls. I feel like he's using the fact that he is deployed to "hit on" other girls. It would make me mad if I found out he was talking to them inappropriately or even just telling them they are beautiful or things that are supposed to be special for a couple. I wish this stupid deployment could be over.

I'm a new wife, just moved near a base and find myself disgusted with just about every other wife and/or couple I meet. Some are so young (and I thought I was) and treat marriage like a joke. One wife seems mentally abusive. Another looks at other guys and talks about past boyfriends a lot. I thought this was what I wanted but I'm so put off by this city and the people in it I just want us to be able to go back to our hometown. And it hurts so much that we can't. I hate this life.

My boyfriend just returned from a year-long deployment. He is different, which I expected. But we live in different states and have relied on phone, text and Skype for the duration of our relationship. He has been back a month and isn't contacting me or answering my calls/texts. I just feel so lost and don't know what to do.

This is my boyfriend's first deployment since we've been together. He's been gone for almost 12 months & they just moved his return date...again. This is the 3rd time & I'm getting so tired of it. I know that this is a part of military life but I haven't seen him since R&R 7 months ago & I really just want to hold him. His sister is about to have a baby & we were hoping he'd be home by then but it doesn't look like it anymore.

Can't get over how she bragged about their marriage, they met while stationed in Germany, slept together the first night, told each other they loved each other too, and were engaged within a month or something. Always bragged about how awesome they were... then bam practically overnight they seperate (he cheated) and now she has this amazing, perfect boyfriend who is now the best, and they got together in no time. Yeah honey; you're not foolin' anyone.

Hi, I look up to you wives and fiances, I'm just a girlfriend right now. Just started college, and my boyfriend is an LT in the Air Force, He's at MacDill and I'm over here at University of Texas in Arlington. I just want you guys to know that you inspire me, and I know some of you may look down on me because I'm just his girlfriend, but if we had a 10 month gap of not being together I think we can handle deployment. I hope to be one of you guys one day. =]

Yesterday was my mother's boyfriend's birthday. Me, DH, my grandma, my younger brother, Mom, her boyfriend, his two kids and his daughter's boyfriend all got together for birthday dinner. It was a nonstop 4-hours of wine, wise cracks, and innappropriate jokes. I think my mom is secretly thrilled.

I've been with my unobservant boyfriend for 2 years now. He didn't even give me a birthday present. And we have been talking about breaking up for a while now. I just recently confessed that I kissed my ex boyfriend goodbye since he was leaving on deployment, and now my boyfriend wants to work things out, and I want nothing to do with him. What is it like being a military wife?
