I Am a Military Girlfriend

I hold no formal recognition with the powers that be. I am at the bottom of the chain. I hold no Military ID card, I am not a dependent or a parent. The man I love may face unspeakable dangers, and I am at the mercy of those who possess...

How do you tell the person you love that you just don't really know how you feel anymore? I tell him that I feel numb, like nothing bothers me anymore cus just don't care. We only talk once every 4 days and you would think I would get...

I wake up every morning and check my phone looking for a text message or hoping I didn't miss a random call. There's normally nothing. I go through my day working in a daycare practically on my own with nine screaming kids but I try to...

Gah... Excuse my rant, but I have to get stuff off my chest.

If there is one thing I hate, it's that when I tell people that my boyfriend is in the army the automatically get a look on their face like they feel sorry for me. I really...

So since my guy has decided that he's ACTUALLY going to talk to me and make this work while he's deployed, I've been spoiled enough to get an email from him almost every day! It's AWESOME! His mood is...meh. He would never admit to it...

Like many of you, my boyfriend and I are doing the long distance relationship at this time till he's released from the army. It's hard but we make it work because we are truly best friends and lovers who have been there for each other...

199 (give or take a week or two) more days until my boyfriend comes home from Afghanistan.

He left in January, came home for his 2 week leave in April (which was perfect, we spent everyday together), and then went back to complete the...

I don't know about you ladies but sometimes I really wish he'd just propose. However my hunny thinks we're too young and doesn't want to ask for awhile so I'll just have to wait and be long distance :/

"Dear civilian girl,

You complain that your boyfriend has worked late all week and have barely seen him.

-I look forward to the two weeks a year we spend together.

You complain because he doesn't call you enough.

-My heart is...

Well, obviously I'm not a girlfriend (being a guy and all that) but I'd just like to say to all of you that as a veteran, I'm proud of you all for your love and commitment to our men in uniform.
As one who was once deployed for two...

My guy just told me that he joined the marines . He leaves Sept 9 for basic training . This totally came out of no where he never mentioned it never ever talked about it . He turned 18 about 3 months ago & I turn 17 in 5 months . We...

Hey everyone I'm new to this website(you should check out my other stories so that you get to know me) but I really need help coping he is leaving for basic training in October and I don't know how I'm going to take it when he leaves. I...

My instincts have never let me down ever, this time my gut is telling me he is out of the country again going God knows where doing something really dangerous. He's been gone for a few days and I just know that he's doing something I...

Michael, my other half, who is at OCS has recently got to start calling on weekends and I gush to him the entire phone call. He doesn't even mind because he can barely talk due to being hoarse. I catch myself being repetitive in letters...

I stumbled upon a poem today that really seemed to hit home. I just wanted to share it you all as I know most of you can relate.

You don't know.
But im the girl who cries every morning. 
In hopes every night for his safe return home...

You know you are a Military Girlfriend/Wife when..1. You don't mind a phone call waking you up at 4 a.m.2. You tell people that ask that he's 'only' been gone a month.3. The smallest contact (short email or 2 minute phone call) from...

So I just realized it's been a bit since writing a story ,and figured I would fix that before too many more days got away from me.

So today marks the beginning of the third week of my Fiance's Boot camp training at Fort Benning. Ive...

Please know that I am not intending for this to be a rant about all military wives, I just recently had a bad experience and wish to share my frustration to get it off my chest.

Most military wives I have encountered have been very...

I've seen so many posts here on experienceproject that a lot gfs and wives were having problems with talking to their guy because he's too damn tired to speak. I think they should go easy on the men. I am currently on video call with my...
