Civilian LOVE vs Military LOVE
...You complain that your boyfriend/husband has worked late all week and have barely seen him
---I look forward to the two weeks a year we spend together.
...You complain b/c he doesn’t call you enough.
---My heart is thankful for the 15- second phone call I got last Tuesday in the middle of the night!
...You whine to you friends about how much you miss him already because he is on a two day trip with his parents.
---I haven’t seen him for 7 months now.
...Your boyfriend/husband belongs to you.
---Mine belongs to the government.
...It’s just not practical for you to drive an hour to see him every weekend during school.
---He spends $700 dollars on a plane ticket just to see me 2 days.
...You hate hanging up the phone when talking to him.
---My heart breaks because I won’t talk to him for another 10 days.
...You complain that he doesn’t take enough time out of his life for you.
---My husband has to get up in the middle of the night to talk with me because of the time difference. He doesn’t complain.
...Your husband is in a bad mood from not sleeping much this week.
---My husband ran 10 miles this morning at 4 in the morning and has a full day of work ahead of him.
...Your boyfriend/husband can call out sick when he is tired or not feeling well.
---My man works no matter what.
...You don’t trust him so you follow him places to see if he is telling the truth.
---I have no choice but to trust him and even then I trust him with my life.
...You don’t like him talking so sexually with his friends.
---My boyfriend/husband has to chant it in drills.
...You check your phone, see you missed a call from him, and decide to call him back when you aren’t so busy.
---I see a missed a call and cry because I don’t know when he can call again.
...You might save a cute voice message from him.
---I save them all because it helps me to remember what his voice sounds like.
...Being apart for a month to you seems daunting.
---A month apart for me is a wish that can’t come true.
...You wouldn’t change schools to be close to him.
---I have to move to another country to be with him.
...You have every part of him memorized.
---I study pictures so I don’t forget what he looks like.
...You take your time together for granted.
---We don’t.
...Your cell phone bill was high this month from talking too much.
---He pays 20 cents a minute to call me.
...You love that fancy necklace he bought you.
--- I refuse to take his dog tags off, and not a day goes by that I don’t have them on.
...You say you miss him.
---Times that by 20000000000

Comments:
well put. I am NOT a military wife but many of my family was in teh military. I have a lot of respect for military wives. They are brave women who give a lot. . .as well as their husbands who risk their lifes for our freedom.
I understand, BUT, it was your Choice???.... I've been a military wife and a civilian wife, I really don't want to hear it, and I don't think too many others do too, to be honest... I say this because my familiy has more than done their duty with the military.
I feel for you. I cant imagine what it must be like being married to the military. God bless your family!
