Military Wives

he got out nov2024 because of me. i never asked him to get out but he wanted to focus on our relationship. he now want to join back and says he thinks when he is 50 years old he will regret not joining again. he misses the community and having friends in the military.

i honestly feel so sad. i don’t want to stop him from doing something he really wants in life but i also don’t want our daughter to miss her dad and i don’t want to miss him if he gets deployed. we are well off and don’t need the military benefits.

I haven’t been on here in a while. Background: I’m the wife of a Marine. We spent all 4.5 years in California. We weren’t together while he was in Boot Camp. We met while he was at the schoolhouse. In the 4.5 years he went through actual hell. He now has PTSD cleaning bathrooms because he was hazed so bad. I worked at the PX, and I can’t close my eyes without seeing me correcting the uniform of one of the 13 we lost in Kabul.

Current: I went into Walmart in a small town in Illinois (the closest base is between 2-4 hours from us) where I see a guy wearing Marine Corps trousers. Just the trousers. No boots, no blouse..just the trousers. I was nice at first when I said, “you know that’s against UCMJ right.” He didn’t correct me, no explanation, just laughed at me. So, I started yelling at him. I am still pissed because I only know a fraction of what my husband had to go through to earn those.

My anger is probably misplaced. I’m probably supposed to be mad at the surplus store for selling them, but am I the only one who would be mad?

Anyone else scary of what's going on

So I have been married to my husband for 4 years now, have been a SAHM for a little over a year. I’m only 22 and i dropped out of college my second semester to move in and get married with him. Even though i had a scholarship that payed for almost all of my schooling. I never had a credit card. No sort of financial aid. But little did I know that that my mother took out 3 loans in my name. And just found out today that I’m a little over 6k in debt with a very high interest. I have no way of proving that it wasn’t me that took them out since she said it was for my schooling. My husband wants to just pay it all in full and be done with it. But it makes me feel terrible knowing that I am not helping pay for something my parents did when me and him were not even married when they took those loans out. So idk I’m just on here to rant ig because I have no one else to tell this to. I knew my parents were shitty people but I didn’t think they were that bad. Now all of this money my husband has worked so hard to save for us just gets thrown away on something that isn’t even beneficial for us in any way. And my credit score is in the dump since I have been missing countless payments for years. So that’s how my night in going. I feel terrible that I’m not making any money to help pay for it.

Hi there! I’ve been in milso groups before, and was in chats but as time went on it’s like everyone disbursed again. I am in serious need of some friends, specially military spouses as I see it easier to be understood. If anyone would like to be friends let me know! I have a 3 month old so I’m at home with him every day while my daughter is in school and my husband is at work. We can text, snap, IG dm; whatever is better and easier. 😊
