Yes I'm married. Yes I got married young. Does that make us naive and immature? No. No I am not pregnant. yes we have been trying to have a baby for over a year this January. Yes I know that a year is not a long time of " trying" for a baby compared to others, but still doesn't mean that we don't understand the emotional stress that goes with it,so please don't tell me that i don't understand. Please don't say " oh i understand" when you have never had to try for a baby. You will never know how it feels and messes with your emotions until you have been through it. I'm sorry that I don't have a baby or am pregnant, but it's not fair that i get treated differently or dropped as a friend because I'm not a "mommy". And my favorite is when my " friends" that are younger than me who have popped out a baby or two treat me like im 10 because im obviously not old enough to know anything about marriage or babies since i don't have my own.
No i did not , have not gone to college yet. Yes you can call me stupid, or tell me that i missed out on major life experiences that i will never get back making me lessor than others- but GOD had a different plan for my life. Don't feel sorry for me that i did not go, i love my life the way it is and plan to go in Gods timing, but please don't tell me that i made the wrong decision since you clearly are not God.
No my husband has not deployed or gone on underways, but you can't tell me that I don't know how separation feels. No you can not tell me that i am not a navy wife because he has not deployed and we don't know when he will. I am no lesser or non-deserving of anything anyone else is. I AM a Navy wife who has known struggles in her day to day life that you may not understand, as I will never fully understand yours. Yes i believe in " Smile at everyone you see, because everyone you meet is having a hard time" because it is not fair for me to judge others saying that they have it easier looking from the outside in when everyone struggles with something different and nor do i appreciate when people do it to us.

people are gonna be people. They suck. As long as you're happy with how you're doing things then nothing else matters. Having a baby right away isnk( always the easiest way. I would have like to have waited and have time to be just a new young couple for awhile and I still get a lot of when are you going to get some more schooling from oeople.
I hate how often I see that "I'm better than you because my life is so much harder" attitude, especially among young military couples. Everyone has their own challenges, and each struggle has significance to those facing it. Different =/= superior!
