LARPing is Live Action Role Playing. Larpers are people who LARP. (I'm not a Larper but I loved this comment, although I don't find them to be annoying, but more fascinating to a certain extent)

Hard disagree. Life circumstances made it so that I was exposed to military culture/life intimately without being in the military. Military wives have to pack up and move their entire families every 2-3 years, immediately adapt to the new location/culture (and help their kids assimilate), make new friends, find new resources, and generally make up the lifeblood of base activities and community, ALL with an embarrassingly small amount of support. The nature of their husband's career make it so that they themselves are effectually prevented from developing their own careers, but their husbands and kids would be lost without them as a governing force.

I have more respect for military spouses than nearly any other group.

I was stunned to see military wives listed here. That person has no clue. None at all. I'm not a military spouse but have lived on a military base. People are clueless about how hard it is.

To be fair, there are some of "those" military spouses who are all about the clout of their husbands title and throwing that around socially. I don't think the PP was referring to the typical military spouse.

Some just are just more into it than others and it does consume their identity. I appreciate PPs responses because it is hard and truthfully, I hated it and regret it. I would not make the same choice again. But I also didn’t revolve my life around the role of spouse “team” or base life. Some women (in particular) love to do all the volunteering and entertaining and office support stuff. Being a rank/role “wife” is their identity. It has its part and it makes a difference to some people. I always resented that so many liberties were taken with my time and energy. Some of these women are putting in full time hours for zero money and it’s wrong. We gave up SO much money and so many opportunities over the years by me not working and not having a house that I actually can’t stand to be “thanked for my sacrifices “ because people have NO idea how much we screwed ourselves financially and personally for that damn career. It was stupid. We all suffered for nothing.

Still I thank you for sticking with it even though you hated the experience. As you unfortunately found out, being a military wife is not for everyone - it takes a unique, unselfish person that many just cannot hack.

Rather backhanded. It’s not selfish to want control over your life. It takes the kind of person who actually enjoys it, that’s all.

Sounds like it. What do all the posters here do in their spare time? Maybe dcum posting is a whole personality.

I mean, some people do make posting on DCUM their whole personality and I'm sure they are annoying.

I think the lesson of the thread is that you can have any passion or interest you want, but be aware that other people have limits on how much they can hear about it or how much they can directly support you in it. Lots of my friends have passions, interests, etc. but I wouldn't say any of them make it their "whole personality." They have some balance to their lives.

I also think that doing this with any interest is something a lot of people do when they are young but it is something of a mark of maturity to find a way to be more balanced. Because ideally you become less self-centered as you get older, and this helps you develop better listening skills, the ability to edit yourself and read a room, and just more tolerance and openness to other people, all of which will temper the tendency to make any one thing your "whole personality."

We should all aim to be fairly well rounded people.

"I was in the Peace Corps" people. Ugh. Sanctimonious. Boring. And always, always, stiff on the tab.
