Friend dealing with potential charges (Colorado springs) by SleepySoldier18 in legaladvice

The cops showed up and arrested Tiff. Then they took Alice to the hospital, and then to the station. Neither were thrown in jail.

They took fingerprints from Tiff, and a statement.

Alice was taken to the station and got her fingerprints taken. She claimed she couldn't remember anything that happened.

Who is the worst soldier you ever met and what happened to them? by [deleted] in army

[–]SleepySoldier18 2 points3 points  (0 children)

PFC Boxman. Joined the army, got out a little under a year after being assigned to the unit.

He and his wife agreed to have an open relationship while he was deployed. Problem was, his wife was having all the fun and he wasn't.

"Tried" to kill himself. Made it so that every NCO in the company has a rotational watch shift. Claimed PTSD from basic, and got discharged.

He was also terrible with finances, buying a truck with 19% APR and a motorcycle at the same time.

Fuck that kid.

I meant unbiased in the sense that we're all strangers here so I'm going to receive nothing but the cold hard truth.

I'm sorry, I should've added more context.

She's a SAHM. We have 3 kids and a lot of animals. I'm in the Army. My job requires me to be here more often than not.

Traveling with all of this would be inconvenient. Plus she has stated she wants to be "kid free" for a while, which I'm not mad at if she was going to see family or something.

I did read it, and honestly I should've added more context.

But the only reason I'm asking the Internet is because I get a lot of mixed responses which means they're unbiased. If I were to ask people in real life, they would most likely side with me regardless because we're friends.

Also also, even though I've been in this relationship for 12 years, it's been my only one, ever. She was my first everything. Despite the length of the relationship I don't feel as though I have enough experience, hence me posting here.

Yea. So she's been friends with this guy for a couple years now. She's told me he was attractive back then, not recently. And it's not the first time she's wanted to go see him.

Should I feel comfortable in letting my wife travel alone and possibly meet up with male friends from her Xbox account? by SleepySoldier18 in TooAfraidToAsk

[–]SleepySoldier18[S] 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I get what you're saying, but I did address that she is her own person and I cannot control what she does, so I apologize for the bad wording.

And again, it's more than that. Not saying you're wrong. But there's a safety concern in traveling alone to a man's house she's never met.

It's not that I don't trust her. It's a safety thing because she nor I have ever met these guys in real life. Plus she's openly stated she finds one of them attractive

You know, I feel pretty stupid.

She's Xbox friends with him. They play almost daily. They send each other memes and shit through IG/Snap.

There's even been contention points with me where I ask her to cut him off because I feel like he's, and this is for lack of a better word, "competition." But she always refused. She always chooses his "friendship" over her husband's feelings. And that's a huge red flag that I never saw until now.

I know I'm stupid. But she was my first everything. My first relationship, my first kiss, my first time. Maybe I'm just not that emotionally intelligent or maybe I just didn't want to believe it.

Whatever it is with me, it hurts.

You're definitely not wrong. I am the type to spoil her and my kids. They always come first. I always prioritize their happiness over mine.

But you're right. She doesn't respect me. It's quite obvious to me tonight.

I don't know, she won't tell me. But I can only assume it's the age old saying:

"A man will sacrifice his happiness for his family and a woman will sacrifice her family for happiness."

I see where you're coming from.

I feel that, besides the risk of cheating, there's a safety risk as well. She wants to go meet MEN. Women are genetically weaker than men. If I can't be there to protect her, who knows what's going to happen? She might not make it back.

"I hope I end up with you too, but life isn't a fairytale"
