Thread: Howdy

Hi everyone, newbie here!
Iv been with my Mr for a little while now and although my friends are lovely they just don't understand sometimes when I need to talk about Army stuff.
I usually just get "Oh I dont know how you do it, I couldnt" from most of them.

So I thought I would pop on here and hopefully be able to chat with people who actually get it when I feel like Im kind of alone.

Hello and welcome to RP. My OH is currently away so I get what you mean about other peoples reactions. The bar is open so mine is a white wine please x

Thank you Ames, not had a tour to get through yet so I hope you're getting through it ok.
Alot of my friends see their boyfriends EVERY day (puke haha) and say I have 3 weeks (not long compared to a tour I know) without seeing him it just really winds me up when they moan its been 2 days since they saw them... does this make me a bad person??? lol

Ooo im feeling festive so Ill have a baileys coffee x

Hello and welcome

I've said it before, and I'll say it again... civvies just don't get it. You've come to the right place

Well Iv lasted just under a year with dealing with my 'irrational woman hormonal mind' and the army (which really dont work too well together) and seen sense! Talk to those who know, who can tell me to snap out of it and stop being a mentalist without just looking at me with pity and saying "Awww, thats so sad you dont see your boyfriend much" SHUT UP AHHHHHH lol x

Hello and welcome!

I'm lucky, I work with people that either have had to travel for 2-3 months for work, or they were in the forces, so I don't get the comments others do, and my family, they see how happy he makes me and accept that his job takes him away and therefore support and don't comment.

So welcome for me... I'm almost half way through my OH'd deployment and feeling happy that we can soon talk about it being "over half way" there's loads of support/understanding on this place and as long as I'm saying hi, mines a glass of red (since I've had one already!)

Hello and welcome, we get it here so have a look at the site.
I'll have a cup of tea now, white wine on Thursday for me!

Evening CNN. You've come to the right place. I've said it before that some of my civvy friends envy the relationship I have with my OH - we're so close yet as he's away most of the time, I have independence! See, it's not all that bad really.

White wine over here please. Need something to keep me warm on this stormy night.

And there goes my bin... I'm not going outside to rescue it.

Hi and welcome to RP. I've not had to deal with a deployment yet (my OHs RN) and the longest we've been apart is 10 weeks but I've had plenty of the 'don't know how you do it' comments!

You'll get a lot of support here. Strong black coffee please

Welcome, I'm quite new here too. I understand totally where you are coming from! My OH is an ex-ranker now entering Sandhurst, I've learnt to ignore civvies comments now. Your soo not a bad person for getting annoyed with folks mushy 'I haven't seen him for 2 days' comments. Because ultimately your relationship will be stronger then theirs! You dont have to see your OH everyday to know he loves you! =)


I'll have a Mulled wine please!!

Hello and welcome I have found this place a godsend!! My friends dont get it either - you are definately not alone x
