What do you think about this photo/quote?
Do you feel its true? False?
Do you think people who are not in a military relationship don't know real love?
Do you think its just something people say to make themselves feel better and its meaningless?
Do you think everyone is this narcissistic about their love?


**ETA- I think why some are upset is because its a very bold statement.
I do believe everyone's love is different, but to say _____wont know REAL love until ____, leaves a large margin of people out. Instead of making it an *I* statement like 'I didnt know true love until...' its a *You statement, which is more abrasive.

Just my thoughts, I cant speak for everyone.

I think people over react that's what I think. It was a quote to make some military woman feel better and now other people think oh well since it says military they think they are special and only know true love .... bash bash bash..... the same could be said for truckers or people that work on the oil rigs etc.... I think everyone who has ever loved and been seperated for any period of time could relate with a few words changed. Btw I am married to a solider.... just so no one says I am hating on military wives.

I understand. I'm not assuming every, or even a lot, of military families think this way. I just found the quote and wondered if other people thought what I did.

 I absolutely do not agree.  My sister knew "real love" according to this quote and she was divorced in two years...my husband and I have been together almost 8 years, and this is the realest love I have ever been blessed to have.

That's just her opinion when she sees it.
It may seem like an overreaction to some, like this picture may seem like a bit much to others. It is a very bold statement, bold statements tend to stir strong emotions.
