The Secret Lives of Military Wives

I have a friend who is in the Army with my husband who had recently married his girlfriend of six years. They went through the boot camp thing and his wife met him down for the graduation. While they had separate flights home, she got stuck for three days and he had made it home on time. So she missed his detox, and he didn’t realize it. Well, the second time around when he came home the first thing that happened was not a happy hello, but a huge argument that lasted for a day and a half. Now I have a rule never go to bed angry. Both of them didn’t understand. I had to explain that when he goes away with the boys, need I say more. Boys will be boys, and boys who get to play with guns, turn into men with the biggest egos ever. They must dominate everything including us. Hence, asshole! And because they’re being dicks it pisses us off and we get angry. They need a few days to get back to normal. They have to adjust. I know it sounds like bullshit, but ask a soldier. If I’m wrong, send me to boot camp!
