Realities Military Girlfriends Understand
People don’t know what to ask you
When you tell people your partner is in the military, you see them jump back a little. They struggle to ask you questions about him. They worry that he’s been deployed and that talking about it is hard for you. Most people also just know very little about the various positions in the military and have no idea how to discuss your partner’s job the way they could if he were a doctor or teacher.
