Feeling lonely

I’m feeling extra gloomy tonight.. just reminiscing about my time in the Marine Corps and all my friends💔

I went to get some Pho with my baby girl for lunch and there was a group of female marines and they were nice and talking it up. I budded in a little and they involved me in the conversation a bit and it was cool. But of course eventually they left and I just felt so lonely again.

Like it’s so weird cause I’m a dependa now but I was prior service so I feel like it’s a weird niche. Idk it’s pretty hard to make friends ESPECIALLY now🥲

My husband is going on recruiting soon so we’ll be moving away from this area and I’ll be gone from this place forever💔

It’s not that stinky Lejeune/Jacksonville and Havelock/Cherry Point is great, it’s just that I’ll be forever leaving those memories behind officially. Idk I know it’s dramatic but what can I say😅 I’m gonna miss Pho7, the Jacksonville mall and gasdonalds… and the memories that always pop up of course.

Idk I just feel so isolated right now…

I know this post is long and dramatic 😅 Thx for reading❤️‍🩹

You got this!! It’s a change. 😭 Think about how at least you won’t have to leave baby girl for any field or deployment ( current active army mama of two girls tryna get out😭) it’s a change and it’s bittersweet. Also thank you for your service.

Hey, I’m active duty Air Force and I’m planning to get out in about a year. My plan is to get a GS job at my current squadron. Maybe you could do something like that?

Is this okay?

Bf forcing me into a career because he said it’s the only way to make money. Commercial real estate, he on a new kick and said i have 3 months to get going on it or he’ll find a partner who will… apparently my goals in life don’t matter as much as money. We have 3 under 5 and I’m a caregiver for my 2 asd kids and homeschooling and therapy 5 days a week between those 2 kids and being disabled myself and we don’t even live together so I do it all alone basically. I planned on having and building a career because I’m 23 I have time still but he said that doesn’t matter and i need my real estate license asap. I planned on going back to school to either finish my criminology degree or go into cosmetology/ be a nail tech since I already do nails on the side. I said I have more than enough time in my day to get my license and and basically start running a business when I’m barely holding things together at home😤

Friends

My only goal of joining this app was to make one genuine friend and I’m still trying. It’s hard because people don’t wanna put in the effort to keep conversations going. I get to know one another I will be 39 on the 24th. I like tattoos, outdoors, deep conversations, and genuine people if you would like a sustainable friendship shoot me a message.

Sahm /retirement

Some advice needed
So me and my partner had our youngest nearly a year ago. We both work(ed) i didnt work for around 6/7 months while he was a baby but was itching to get out and communicate with people.
During that time i still paid half of everything (i hate people paying for me)
Now we've discussed a change of circumstances and ive had to give up my job for the time being. My partner is on an apprenticeship (better pay then his previous job but more hours and less time off) so realistically we'll see him for an hour everyday then weekends.
Ive already told him that if im staying home the next 2-4 years, im not paying half the rent as my job will be staying home, i will still be paying something though as im no housemaid🤣
That was kind of context my question is how do i go about retirement?
I dont have one but had it set up through work as im now of age to be considered. I already feel abit weird telling him i want money to go to only me (obviously only matching whatever basic retirement is) but i also feel i need to set myself up as ive already missed out on a years worth of it. Like its not fair if cone retirement my partner has a nice sum to sit on and ive got very little.
Any advice?
