even though they sound kind of awful, it probably wouldn't hurt to try & humor the key wives, right? it sounds like you need some company, & as much as the marine housewife routine doesn't seem to be your scene, baking cookies can be fun. these things can be fun, it just takes some work.
you're a pro. i sort of agree with cate, except that wifey activities don't really seem like your cup of tea. the truth is, though, that these women ARE going through the same kind of stuff you're going through, and i'm sure they understand how difficult it is. you might benefit from their support. at the very least, don't let yourself feel alone, especially when there are people reaching out to you and trying to make things easier on you. good luck and hang in there cutie
and thats the funny thing. ive tried because i know deep down inside he wants me to be apart of that. he even wants me to be a key wife but there are very few of them that dont make me sick or that will even talk to me. maybe its because im different or maybe because theyre shy but they really do make me sick. and i am friends with some his friends girlfriends and i have been getting out more than usual but its still not even close to as fulfilling home is.
yeahhhh i guess you really are out of your element, that's a pretty crappy situation... just try not to isolate yourself and let yourself stew in bad feelings, because that won't get you anywhere.
dude, fuck that noise. i get the same e-mails from our FRG [family readiness group] leader all the time. it's such propaganda. i've been flat out told it's more important for me to volunteer my time instead of find an actual job. oh, and i "should" be at the blood drive. oh, and i "should" bake cookies for the single soldiers for the holidays. and be at all of the family events, like fall festival or spring carnival. and be cheery about it. don't get me wrong, i'm all for charity but fuck someone telling me i "should".
i completely understand about the bullshit social events of being a military wife.
I always feel that propaganda vibe. The ones who cheat and all together suck at life telling me how they deal with their deoployments and sending me stories I could give a fuck about.
oh and despite the fact that they all got married young, i get dirty looks for being the youngest wife. and for whatever i'm wearing. and for the fact that i stand by my right to have MY OWN opinions, not my husband's. and because i voice them. and most of them don't agree with military protocol.
... i could go on for ages [but i'm sure you know that]. this is probably why i have one wife-friend, one female-enlisted friend, and everyone else are single soldier dudes. haha anytime you want to rant about spouses, i'm always game.
You hit the nail on the head. Whatever your wearing, my own opinions. I said I preferred hybrid cars and they practically snarled. I'm friends with all of my husbands friends and I have two wife friends but you have to meditate before speaking with them because theyre so damn ignorant. At shop functions I'm usually having awesome debates with andres master sgt (totally conservative but chill). I'd rather do that then watch andres play soccer and mind the child.
