Ok it doesn't matter what branch you or your spouse serves in. What matters is the fact that you/ they are serving. Which is a huge commitment and makes for a tough life. Being a spouse of a service member is hard! Especially whenever it was my dream to join but I didn't get to. it's hard because your always being taken away from the ones you love. You don't get a say. And you do it for the freedom of every one els. Even those ungrateful for their freedom. So please, DO NOT JUDGE ME if I'm having a rough day, and feel the need to vent. I'm human, I have feelings too. Yes, I have to be strong, I have no choice but I can still admit when I am at least feeling weak. ✌ I do not take my life for granted. We do not get a ton of $$$. We live from pay check to pay check most the time and that's just with paying bills. Military family's have the same struggles just as others. Sometimes, worse. It isn't as a forgiving lifestyle as it sounds on the outside. So if you've never lived it. Don't criticize it.
I've lived it and it's tough. Constantly having your SO gone and only getting to talk to them at current times. It's one of the hardest things anyone would have to do and people that haven't lived it don't really understand it. Stay strong.
Okay so married couples I have a question. How do you guys split bills with your spouse. Do you guys do 50/50 or does anyone pay more and why? How did you come up with the agreement on who pays what and does it cause conflict or has it? If you do 50/50 do you guys have a joint bank account or separate?
Very curious on how this works.

Let’s talk PTO and who’s involved with their kids school.
I get A LOT of mixed reviews about being on the PTO so let’s hear your thoughts; why did you join or why won’t you?
If you have served or currently do let’s see those back to school PTO boards for enrollment. Do you have a must have planner? Are you in any PTO group??
Do you really think the way you are raised
Has no impact on when and how you decide to have sex? I read a comment on another thread that really rubbed me the wrong way. Something about how teens have sex and there's just no stopping it no matter how you raise them.
SAHM do you feel guilty -I do ?
Do you ever feel guilty that your so/dh go out work hard and you get to stay home?
Ladies...if your husband has a friend of the opposite sex who is asking for advice from him about what to do about her cheating husband....how would you feel about it? Would you even let that conversation go on? I would like to get every and any opinion on this matter
@krjmommy0509, I see your active duty!! I wanted to active duty so bad but ... Right before I was gonna leave, found out I was pregnant and couldn't go. But I am so proud of my husband and the accomplishments he has made in the marines!
