| Would u date at guy or marry guy who is in the military? Posted: 11/8/2005 5:02:50 PM | | All I can say is my BF was in the military for 10 years and he tells me about how the GI's spend all their money on whores.....but it depends on where they were deployed at. I know what they go through from HIS life experiences. I am like everyone else that using deployment as an excuse to screw around is not aceptable with either partner whether married or in a relationship. I do feel extremely bad for the good guys that do what they do and are faithful and come home to find their spouse has been cheating..... I agree it takes a certain kind of woman to be with a GI....and I know it is not for me. | |

Would u date at guy or marry guy who is in the military? Posted: 10/8/2005 3  09 PM hello all women, would u ever date a guy or even marry one who is in military. Who may have to go away overseas for months at time possible for workthings? what are your thoughts
i am currently dating a navy corpsman who will be deployed to Iraq for 14 months starting in February. He lives in Oceanside and I live in the High Desert of Southern Cali, so its about an hour and a half drive. I am totally in love with this guy and up until recently he wouldnt admit that he wants to be with me as much as I with him because he believes its unfair to ask me to wait for him for so long. He said that he has seen what long deployments have done to married couples and those in relationships and he doesnt want to put me through that agony. I told him that its my choice to wait and I believe he is worth the wait. There is nothing I would love more than to marry this person. I think that it takes a very understanding person to wait for someone who is deployed, male or female. But it depends on each person. I get so sick of hearing stories about how women cheated on their men. Its unreal to me how a person can cheat on someone deployed or get mad that they arent around. THEY ARE DOING A JOB, THEY HAVE NO CHOICE BUT TO GO.
Unfortunately for me I will have twice the worry. My boyfriend is in the Navy and my brother is in the Marines and they are both at Camp Pendleton and will both be leaving at the same time. | |

Today, I would still date a military guy. If the right guy happened to be in the military, yes, I would marry him. | |

It would be hard not seeing them for long periods of time, but friends and family would mean you wouldn't be lonely, your job would keep you busy. As to cheating, why? I've never understood it myself. I trust the person I choose to be with, whoever he is, whatever he does for a living, I wouldn't be with someone I didn't trust. Hopefully, anyone I have a relationship with feels they can trust me, and doesn't accuse me of things I haven't done. | |

It would really have to depend on the person. I missed my father horribly growing up and he missed out on a lot of things with me. I was raised quite often through letters sent from the ship "Polly, you have to listen to your mother more, I know its hard sometimes but....". Maybe with technology now a days its different.
I love and respect my father a great deal but I would have to carefully think about getting involved in a situation like that, especially if we were planning on children just because of my own experience growing up. | |

I believe that if you truly love someone that doesnt change with distance it just gets stronger. A military man is making the ultimate sacrafice! why shouldn't we love them and respect that they deserve to have someone to come home to.  | |

I am too much of a coward to do it. But I agree with General Patton who said : let the other poor **stard die for his country, not lest we forget. | |

I have profound respect for those in the military, but realize that I could not deal with the time apart that the military demands. I am looking for a companion and ultimately a husband, who I can fall asleep with every night, and wake up with every morning. | |

| Would u date at guy or marry guy who is in the military? Posted: 5/31/2006 5:05:07 PM | I was in the army, and this is what happened to me:
The girl I was seeing we known each other for about a year or so, and we were together most of the, or so I thought. We got married right before we got orders to get deployed to Qatar...this was during the first wave of Operation Iraqi Freedom, and I was in a back-up unit, ready to go into Iraq at a moments notice.
While I was over there, I tied to call my wife as much a possible, and when I did get the chance to talk to her she was very unresponsive to me and that bugged me alot. I could have died tomorrow, but she seemed not to care. On top of that, my checks started bouncing and I knew I had well over $5000 in my account. so that told me, she was taking the money and spending it on random things....she waited until the day we go married to rob me blind. and thats exactly what she did.
My friends tried to warn me of what she was doing but she wouldnt give them my mailing address or let me talk to them when I called. I found out all about it after I made it back stateside and she sent me a letter asking why I closed my account, along with her moving out of the apartment we stayed in, and placing all my stuff in storage. To top it off, she got pregnant with another guys child. Needless to say, it was an uncontested divorce and I'm still licking my wounds on that one.
So yeah, marriage is okay, dont let my bad experience ruin it fo anyone. Just be sure that theyre the right person for you. | |
