If you want a husband who is home all the time--then don't marry someone in the military! I know you can't always choose who you fall in love with--trust me, I know!--but ugh, this is someone's life and people just want to be "Yeah you! You're great! It'll be fine!" And if I say anything, I'll just be the big B!
That doesn't happen here--and while I don't always agree with everyone--I appreciate that people try to tell it like it is so that people don't have unrealistic expectations.
Thank you for letting me vent--I will get off my soapbox now.

Oh. Em. Gee. I completely agree with you on this one. I had to stop frequenting a certain forum for "married mommies" (although, honestly, the name itself was almost enough to make me not go back) because for one thing, everyone was too friggin nice to each other, and for another, none of the idiots on the board seemed to understand the simple concepts of spelling and grammar! Ugh. On a sidenote, GC has definitely made me more of an internet hardass...tehehe!
