Getting married at 18 (army)

[SGDA]

Hi, I’m getting married this month (he’s in the army) just wondering if anyone else got married young into the military?

YY to the cheating. DH worked with a guy (who I thought a lot of) who had his stag when they went on exercise in Germany, went to a brothel and cheated on his lovely fiancée. I trust DH but there’s a real culture of that type of behaviour, as well as casual relationships between colleagues. The females in those scenarios always end up getting cast as “sluts” or “bunnyboilers” as well, which is testament to the mentality.

I’m not really selling it am I? DH is leaving at the end of this posting, he never planned on staying in long term (although he’ll still have done 10 years by then). If that was what he wanted I’m not sure I would’ve married him tbh- I just don’t want to be reliant on an organisation that seems to think wives should just follow their husbands around and provide childcare.

Yep "what goes on tour stays on tour" etc

The only times I've seen it work are when the spouse has a really good career too that takes up a lot of their time e.g. Nursing.

I should add that my experience is a bit unusual as DH lived in the block for six years whilst we were dating and I stayed most weekends. He also loves talking about other people so I was privy to more comings and goings than most girlfriends I guess.

Total utter bollocks, OP, and I've reported you. Only a couple of weeks ago you had this thread:

*Any other young people TTC?

(Me and DH are married, have a house and both have stable jobs and enough money to fund a child)*

Scottish They have another thread in relationships which contradicts this one too, let alone ones from last month in AIBU. What I don't understand is why, when I reported this thread over six hours ago, MNHQ have left this and others to stand.

I think MNHQ have lost their grip on the whole situation Shatners

So very young to be married. Could you not just be engaged for a couple of years? Why the rush? But wishing you all the best, in any case.

I was 19 and DH 23, not military though. We have been married for almost thirty years and very happy ( a few disagreement over the years but nothing serious).

Last two posters clearly haven't read the full thread

Mum and dad did, dad off to another country for 10 years, I came a year later, still together and strong

I did at 17! So we could live together in Germany still together 7 years later 🙂
