    How refreshing, a military spouse who has her own identity and a job that is not into mlm or advertising sponsored products nobody needs

    I've been married to my husband for almost 25 years and he's been in the Army for the same amount of time. We've lived on and off post, in the states and overseas. I finished my career as a health educator specialist, worked at times and was also a SAHM. He's been an NCO and currently an Officer, has deployed and all that comes with this life.

    This is so refreshing!! I always look up military spouse videos because my boyfriend is planning to commission as an officer for the marines, but every video I watch is usually a stay-at-home wife/mom that form their entire identity around there spouse (which is something I definitely do NOT want to do). Thank you for this video!! It gives me comfort

    i’m a future marine spouse and this helped me so much! i’ve been worried about if we will be able to make ends meet on his salary while i settle in and find a job, but you’ve made me feel so much better! :)

    Omgsh I just spit my drink out when you said tell me about yourself and a military spouse says my husband is a gunnery SGT 💀 but I do have sympathy for a lot of military spouses bc after years of being married and having children and several deployments later, a lot of women start to lose their self identity especially being away from family so long. Especially for me, my husband is an army officer and I have to be able to support families during deployment and direct them to the right resources when they need help. And eventually his career starts to become part of your identity bc your life revolves around his career whether we want to or not and I think that alone leads to a lot of military divorces bc women want to have their own identity again and it’s very hard overall. Loved the video! ❤️

    Super helpful!! Thanks for sharing this :)

    I absolutely refuse to let my career and interests take a backseat to a spouse's job. I think it's so important to maintain your own identity and do your own thing in spite of having to move around or plan travel differently.

    My now husband drove me home from a bar and we literally got married a month to the day later and have beem happily married ever since. I am a happy stay at home wife that has homeschooled all of our kids. So I found your example funny. We are getting ready to move again for the 4th time, this time with one less kiddo. She is at the age she does not have to go with us.

    This gave me a lot to look forward too and think about. At a young age making the decision to go down this path with my boyfriend who joined. He becomes a marine in two weeks. Our plan is to get married right after. as a diabetic I have a lot I have to think about when it comes to the things I use for my medical issue. It worries me a lot. My boyfriend told me tricare would pay for the things I use as an insulin dependent but I’m not sure who to talk to when it comes to that like if they will pay for the newly updated devices I use to take care of myself or if they pay for the bare minimum so I stay alive and healthy lol.

    Girl this was good content! 😂 Felt too relatable to hear you talk about the unsettling wack schedule. Anyway although it all can seem crazy and maybe scary living in the unknown, we can only truly live life taking risk and not being afraid to take the narrow path.

    My boyfriend is going into the army in a few weeks, we live together we don’t have kids. We’ve been together for almost 3 years and I feel like I’m getting anxiety knowing that’s he is going to be gone. But this video made me feel at ease. Thank you. ❤️

  • @stephanieschubert7007

    I've never dated anyone in the military before, however I have started talking to a guy in the Navy a month ago and I think it's starting to look like it may end up as a serious relationship. I've never had any family or partners in the military before so this experience is completely new. Started looking into RUclips videos to see what this experience is going to be like and any helpful advise I can find. Sounds like I'm off to a good start, I'm a registered nurse so I can find a job anywhere in the states with my degree and certification. I just hope I can keep myself busy and happy when he's gone.

    Girl this video was so interesting! I’m playing the next half once I’m in bed tonight lol. My boyfriend “trained” to be in the Navy (not entirely sure how the process works) but it’s cool to hear your input on being an active duty military wife!! We love this first video 🥰😍

  • @GrimBrother

    As someone who plans to be in the military and grew up in a military family, relationships scare the hell out of me for a lot of reasons. I am watching videos like these to get an idea of how to help my future gf/wife with the complications of me being in the service.

    Spent half my career deployed. Loved it. Had a kid my last yr got out into the reserve to get out of deployment. Heading out soon. Seems every other yr is just what I'm gonna do. Can't seem to get away from it.
