Alcohol Abuse Family: What Qualities Make for Being a Good Military Wife??
Question by justwonderin’: What qualities make for being a good military wife??
What quatlities make for being a good military wife do you think….all I can see so far…is that you have to accept drinking…cheating and you and your kids coming second to the military?? what do you think?
I should probably add…that I am not asking this for myself…I am asking this for a friend…she is 24…her husband got back from Afghanistan (then they got married, she has a 4 month old son) and now has been posted to Alert (North Pole) for 6 months….thing is…so I don’t mean this question making any assumptions…she is a member of a military wives website..and she sent me a bunch of msgs…from threads on which she was expressing her fears..and all these experienced miltary wives were all like….accept it…you have to make yourself numb to such things etc…I’m not saying any of this to be true…I’m saying I don’t know…and she’s a new military wife…we DON”T know…I didn’t mean it as an insult…I myself am a military brat…but never saw such things…though. thanks sorry if anyone took it personally didn’t mean it as an insult…I’m truly asking out of ignorance…my slightly feminist side must have gotten the best of me, I should have worded it differently sorry!

i think you are mixing with the wrong military people, husband in mil. for 21 years rarely drinks……sure as heck NEVER cheated, and yes I do have agree with the kids come second to the military BUT that’s what pays your mortgage, doctor bills and all the other stuff you get.
UPDATE
As a military wife, you need patience most of all and the strength to hold it together when they are away.
The most he was away was 6 months and we areed that if I could keep my drawers on for that length of time then so could he………I suppose it just depends on the sort of age group you are referring to really, we got married older and for us both it was not our 1st marriage so we knew more of what we did NOT want out of life and most importantly what we did want, but fair point on the distance thingy…………….and there is ALWAYS someone with a big mouth that will rat them out, plus like a later reply stated it CAN be used as reasons for dismissal from the military
