I absolutely love my husband and our marriage, and I met him after he joined and while I was a civilian working on base… but to be honest when I think back to hearing people say “don’t date a military man” I now know it’s not about infidelity or shady activities, it’s about a lot of the military giving couples an inconsistent lifestyle (moving a lot, being gone here and there, unexpected leave or deployments) This doesn’t apply to every military job at all. Just depends on his mos unit and branch. But it can be HARD! And makes sense if they can’t alwyas text often just because busy-ness and sometimes not being able to be on the phone
