Today, my boyfriend of over 2 years said he wants to get married before he leaves for basic training. Not because he loves me, but because he'll get paid more if he's married. This is the only time he's been excited about marriage. FML

Wow. My husband and I just got married today. He's also in the military. And he could care less about the money. I mean yea, it's going to help with bills for our house and stuff but we got married because we love each other. And let me tell you. being apart is the hardest thing ever. so if he's only thinking about the money don't bother in putting yourself through a long distance relationship. seriously.

Tell me about it... Totally anti-single... but it's designed to keep you dependent on the military.

You don't really get paid more-your basic rate (salary) is the same. You get extra allowances for having dependents (extra money for food, housing, etc.), but the basic pay to the person in the military is the same.

i just got married Monday and am leaving for basic in sept and my now wife and I saw the extra money as a huge incentive plus the spouse gets full medical coverage for basically no cost ( except for dental). so OP quit ur whining

beg to differ. my husband and I get 2000. depends on location. it's not that much extra money though. he is now a sgt and we make enough to get by comfortably and make sure our kids are set. it's all in how u spend.

my mistake, my husband is an E3 and from my understanding (which is rather limited at the moment) the max for his base is 1200 and dont dependants also go into account?

by dependents I mean as far as pay, not just BAH.

If you love him enough then marry him. Know he isn't going to give his all for the marriage aspects (such as not taking anniversaries seriously). And know that women married to someone in the army lives a tougher life.

and this is why most marriages in the military end in divorce. they both will probably end up cheating on each other when he deploys. it's never good to marry just for more money.

Haha, don't worry about it too much, it could still end up being a great marriage. That's the reason my parents got married to be honest, and they've been happily together for almost 25 years now. It doesn't mean they don't love each other, they just didn't really think of marriage before they realized it would actually benefit them rather than just be a waste of money for a wedding.

Wow if that's the only reason he's willing to get married I'd dump him. That's just plain selfish; he's using you for his own benefit. Tell him you're not his bitch.
