Today, it dawned on me that I've been married for 6 months, but because of the Army I've spent only around 12 days total with my wife. FML

Last time I checked, we were free before we were in this war. We actually invaded THEM. Not to say I don't have respect for the troops, but we are fighting in a war that isn't ours. And for my pre-determined response to the people that will ramble on about how they attacked us first: Not one Iraqi has ever killed any of our people on our soil. 9/11 was mainly Saudi Arabians. As for OP, I'm terribly sorry for you. I don't think your life is fuckable, nor do you deserve it at all. You have a wife that loves you enough to stick by you for long periods at a time without seeing you. Be happy you have her, she sounds like a great girl.

So this guy is crazy about me, but we haven't ever been on a date because he went to the marines before he contacted me again. He was supposed to come back in June but it was postponed till August. So I know how that sucks for you. Hopefully things will get better. (I support you for being in the Army, btw)

While not necessarily a YDI, I really can't say FYL. As part of an Army family, my spouse and I have been through loads of separations, he's missed a lot of our kid's life, etc. Ultimately though, being in was a choice, and getting married right before leaving was your choice too. We all do the pity party thing from time to time, but don't get caught up in counting what you're not there for otherwise it become an ugly pissing match and everyone is miserable. Stay safe man.

Some people join for money and some for patriotism. You know what though they still deserve credit for having the balls to join up during time of war and political criticism.

We do more than just kill. FYI for the idiots on here we actually do have humanitarian missions going on right now in South East Asia and part of Africa

Definitely can sympathize; I've been with my fiancee for two years but because of the AF, it's really only been about a year. It's rough but it's possible!

The military rules. I'd rather spend my life in the military overseas than in the States.

Why is everyone assuming that it's him in the Army and not his wife? The post doesn't specify.

I respect that you're in the military, thank you. However, you KNEW what would happen if you married someone when you're in the military, or if you even joined in the first place. It's rough, but you'll make it through just fine. On the bright side, since you guys are married now, she can live with you. You most likely see her more than you used to when you dated her, right?

I can relate too much. My husband and I spent 9 days together as husband and wife during our first year of marriage.

thanks for your service. i know the feeling; my fiance's in the navy, dad's retired marine. **** all these people who are saying you deserve it because you joined the army. its hard, but what you're doing is so important. keep youre head up & just think of how exciting it will be when she runs into you arms! best feeling in the world.
