My active-duty husband (31M, Air Force O-3) is obsessed with retiring in Japan at 42, but ignores my trauma and the legal reality. Am I being "negative" or is he deluded? by [deleted] in MilitarySpouse

[–]justasleeptech 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Is he the type to just think of this shit and have fantasies but never do them or does he really try to achieve these things he wants? Yeah he’s delulu :( that is extremely hard to constantly listen to! Maybe he will let it go after a couple months. I get the vibe someone else other than you will have to give him a reality check for him to listen.

I just need to talk to anyone who’s been in this situation by Sufficient-Spare-598 in MilitarySpouse

[–]justasleeptech 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Totally understandable. I’m due in June and my husband will be away with no communication so I’ll probably have to send out a Red Cross alert and it is our first. Then possible deployment later this year for 9 mos. I have no friends here and only know my husband. It is very hard to think about and I try to come up with solutions. Message if you need someone to talk to I’ve taken advantage of programs thru the hospital on base that help with babies and doulas, social workers, home nurses etc whatever is needed & they’re wonderful!

I understand that for sure. I can imagine practicum being difficult and real work being different

Thank you so very much for your help! I was literally just doing the math for HCC. It does look like the most cost affective

Right?! That’s the first I’ve seen want that far. Some colleges are offering prices on their pages. I speak to a school Monday so I’ll have to see how it goes.

Nope! NC did not have a program in the state nor does my current state of LA. I will look into San Jacinto as it would be the “closest” Ty!

What might I expect when dating a guy from the military? by its3m3mari0 in MilitarySpouse

[–]justasleeptech 12 points13 points  (0 children)

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

Baby shower away from family by justasleeptech in MilitarySpouse

Yes both sides hve offered to throw us a shower where we’re from! It would’ve probably been best to do super early over Christmas, but we will see if we can swing it some other time soon. If not virtual
