A friend of mine, who's also my neighbor, started hitting on a deployed Soldier's wife. I don't think he'll succeed, but who knows, she's human. I wanted to avoid being judgmental, but I could also be deployed soon and my wife could already be on his radar.

This is all bad business… the amount of broken family I have seen left in the wake of deployments 😔. I was lucky that my deployment was delayed which prompted my wife at the time to divorce me. Otherwise, I probably would’ve gotten a “Dear John” or a “deployment mascot.” All I can say is workout whatever issues you might be having with your wife prior to deploying at least creating some kind of security and honestly, wish for the best.

Godspeed and thank you for all that you do.

He is low rent.

Was in the Army. While deployed the married people were hooking up more than the single people. Assumed this was the same back home as well. Probably something g about both parties having something to lose made it easier.

I didn't see a lot of that, but it's probably because mine was about 10 months.
I assume that both parties agree and are aware of what they're getting into. Deployments are difficult so both parties need to be on the same page.

your wife is on MY radar

I have been at my company for a little less than 4 years now. I’ve had the third highest sales last year out of a team of 50 and consistently the highest outbound calls per week. They told me I can start WFH once I hit $1mil in profit, but then rescinded right before I hit the goal. They have also denied simpler request like time off, when I know they have approved this before for others. I feel super unappreciated, but the money is great. I’m not sure if I should look elsewhere and start over?

I've realized that I keep working 60+ mostly because I suck at things regarding the personal life. My love life sucks, I don't have that many close friends, and don't have a good hobby (mostly in my free time I just pass time).

I’ve spent a long time working in nonprofits and higher education and I am so excited that I’ll finally be leaving. I feel like I’ve been in a cult for over 10 years and I feel extremely jaded and played. Yes I know many of you are going to laugh at me for believing that working for nonprofits or education was a good thing, but I sincerely did think that what I was doing was for the greater good. I’m embarrassed I used to think that way. I can’t wait to leave and never come back. 🏃🏾‍♀️
