[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I've actually dated both Army and Navy officers, and while there is a certain level of cockiness that seems to come with the territory, they are not all alike--I've dated officers who were sensitive and sweet, who had very deep friendships with others, and who were generally laid-back guys when they weren't on the job.  The Navy pilot I dated--funny, romantic, but definitely full of himself, lots of swagger, and serious issues dealing with emotions in a healthy way.  So whatever issues you are having with this guy, are issues with this guy.  Don't ignore them or write them off as coming with the territory.  [/quote]

As an officer's wife I will say this, while it is true you cannot generalize any aspect of an officers behavior, but there are commonalities. They tend to be very good at compartmentalizing. It also takes a certain characteristic to be married to one of them. Being there wives is not for everyone. Their good characteristic are very good and so are the bad ones. The decision is up to OP. I just want her to go into this with her eyes open - are the goods in the relationship good enough for you and will you be able to overlook the bad or at least work with them. That is essentially what she needs to decide. Yes they do have a lot of swagger, but that's because they can do things and the know it. On a primitive level, the OP should be aware, the urge to procreate with an alpha masculine men who can sex her up well is an overwhelming one. And no wonder the OP is asking for help - the guy is well read, has swagger and can screw her well, and now she has to decide if she can live with his unflattering parts. That is a decision only the OP can know, and she is not going to figure this out by filtering the guy through our current society ideal. Life ain't that simple. OP you've got some thinking to do..?[/quote]
