I mentioned before that one of my friends, a mil spouse, is getting divorced after finding out her H is cheating on her. She's trying to break her lease so she can move back to her home state and posted on fb for advice. Another mil spouse, one I don't know, swore up and down she'd be able to find someone on base that would give her fake orders for her H so she could break the lease without paying any fees.
I really want to go off on all of them. People are freakin stupid.
I would assume that stems from your LDS upbringing and being taught to be modest. My mom and aunts used to walk aroung boobs out all the time. I do it now unless my 13 yr old son is arround. Breast feeding doesn't bother me. That's what they are for. Society has made breasts into sexual objects. Are you uncomfortable around men who are not wearing shirts in public?
My confession: I'm tipsy, home alone and pissed off. Several things have put me here. If I had gone out tonight, I probably would have found a fight for the shyt of it to make myself feel better.
I still haven't told my mom that I'm starting midwifery school. I don't know why. I just don't feel like having the conversation. DH told the ILs without asking me first and they put me on the spot with a ton of questions. I don't mind answering the questions, but I was not it the mood for it at the time they started asking. I don't feel like going through that again.
"It is hard to fail, but it is worse to never to have tried to succeed." Theodore Rosevelt.
I'm afraid of not liking mil life. Since I have stayed behind to finish Grad school while H went to tech school I don't feel I know what the life is truly like, yet; therefore, I'm afraid once we are really experiencing it that on of us will like it and the other won't. I am more so afraid of me not liking it because if I liked it and H did not I would never expect him to stay in a career that made him unhappy.
I feel that I am making a lot of effort to go into things with an open mind and heart and look for things to make it as easy a transition as possible (for example: posting on this board for advice, discussing the transition with friends who have done it already, letting go of the idea that marriage and life is supposed to be a particular way, etc.). But since this is a post about our confessions mine is that I confess I am afraid of not liking military life because I know how much following this career path means to my husband and I want so much for him to be happy.

Not yet. Lol. Maybe this summer. An offer has been extended to me. I may take him up on it after I'm legally divorced (T-minus two weeks)
I'll tell you right now, it's not a bad gig.
Especially post-a-serious relationship. Fun for all.
My confession: I'm fed up with my boss taking advantage of how willing I have always been to come into work at the drop of a hat when he needs me. I'm practically on call for him, and yet, these couple of weeks when my H has been home on RA, I've asked for a few (very few) specific days off and have had to fight for every one of them. I really want to give him the finger and walk out, and in a couple months I could afford to, but I know I won't. I have to have a talk with him before my summer classes start, because my schedule will be much less flexible, and I'm dreading it. He forgets our conversations as soon as we have them and I'm sick of nagging him.
Part of me hopes my job will deny my requested vacation time coming up in August so I can chunk up the deuces and quit.
So much for a reference though...
I'd put it in writing, if that's an option (not sure where you work, and if email is normal for boss/employee communication... it is where I work). With an email, you can always refer back to it later, especially if you get an emailed response from him.
