need to work on being a hormonal bitch lol
so today i posted in navy gf's,fances,wives about how upset i get when some navy gf's over react about little things for attention!
example, i had been trying to help this girl for awhile and today she sent me this "he texted me 101 times yesterday and he only sent me 84 today"
i just about lost my top!
not even because i cant talk to nick right now or because i miss nick alot, it was simply because her sailor is in Aschool working his ass off, yet hes still making sure to make time for her to make her happy, but shes still complaining about something everyday!
anywho, i posted a bitchy status about it and haha i endedup having to delete it because so many girls where commenting how
"you havnt even made it through boot camp yet"
"this site is for support not for bitching"
etc.
lets just say it blewup and people where bitching and bitching about how icant even talk etc.
and their right! i cant! i have no idea what aschool will bring,
and i also needed to respect that everyone deals with their feelings differently!
i tend to be a hormonal bitch alot now lol

Oh my......don't let those upset you cuz all it does it get you worked up. 84 texts a day isn't enough? They are very needy in their relationship and appears, to me, that they require constant assurance that all is okay. It's insecurity within themselves so read it and just let it breeze by you, okay? This is what's going on, I believe. Let the very needy ones reassure and support each other. It is undoubedtly very difficult to have a spouse in the Navy. My son is married BUTTTT there is a "normal" amount of difficulty to be expected and then there is the extreme side of this. Don't let others upset you by this.....

I think bitching is perfectly alright. Of course everyone will bitch about different things, but that's all good too.
Listening to another person bitch IS support, and yes, it is also what this site is for if that is what you need. I hate it when folks want nothing but puppies and rainbows. Life isn't like that, and the Navy certainly is not.
Hang in there.

I totally agree with the ones above. I feel so bad for this Sailor, and my insight is dump the GF lol. He doesn't need that type of stress. No you don't know what A School is going to bring, but after being pregnant with a fiance' in basic training I'm sure you're going to be happy to just get a text message a day saying "I love you" .. Don't let these people get you down because you definitely don't need it!
