Well damn, looks like the drama is heating up again! I have come across several things here lately dealing with the ladies being vicious and hateful. Before I go into them I have an opinion I’d like to share with you. I don’t care what color you are, what shape you have or what size clothes you wear…good and decent people and, of course, the bad ones come in all shapes, sizes and colors. I don’t believe in judging anyone based on appearance. What people do with their personal lives is not my concern…as long as it doesn’t harm my family. Everyone is different and things that go on behind other’s closed doors is their business. Judging others is conceited and wrong…in my opinion!
Now, I’ve been reading more and more posts online and seen the viciousness of gossip lately. All the “he said, she said” is a bit ridiculous. So many of the military wives, not ALL of them…so don’t jump just yet!, do their best to keep up with what is going on in everyone else’s lives. Lots of them spend their days trying to keep track of which wife or soldier has been lying, cheating, misbehaving, etc. They make calls to see who did what last weekend or who got “home late” from work…blah blah blah. For what??? Why make their lives the center of yours? Why let the actions or possible actions of others consume your day? If someone lives their life in a way you find offensive, simply do not hang out with them. It is that simple. I have also seen posts of someone sharing specific details of someone’s problems. Why do that? If a wife calls for advice, be kind and help out or gracefully bow out of the situation. Don’t take her hardship and share it with the world. Don’t blast her name and her business for all to see.
Next on the list…RANK! Please please please realize that your husband’s rank is his own, not yours. His rank does not apply to you, nor does it get you anything. He earned his rank with hard work and dedication…and putting up with all the shit he has to on a daily basis! There is nothing wrong, however, with being patriotic and showing your pride. Be proud of your husband and his accomplishments. Be proud that he serves his country. But don’t, for one second, think that anyone owes you anything. Your husband chose his career and you chose to be his wife. Choosing to be his wife comes with a different lifestyle than that of a civilian, yes. BUT no one owes you anything for being a “military wife”.
The last one is the nasty one….so before I go any further, let me remind you that this is my opinion. This is something I feel very strongly about. Some will agree and some will disagree. Those that disagree…I know the shitty comments and excuses may be left in the comments. Go right ahead…it will just help make my point. And before anyone gets all technical…yes, I said shitty comments and excuses because that is my opinion of them.
drum roll please! haha…….CYBER BULLYING! Ahhh…the one that makes a lot of people roll their eyes! My first post about drama among military wives caused a little bit of an uproar. I know there are sites out there that seem to have the sole purpose of picking out certain military wives and bashing the hell outta them online. Personally, I think it is one of the most low and cowardly things to do to someone. The OSMW site was mentioned in the last one and to my knowledge, is still actively bullying women. Call it bullying or don’t call it bullying…I don’t care. Taking pictures of women because you don’t like their clothes or their weight and then posting them for the world to see is wrong and should come with consequences. A lot of the members on that site claim to only judge someone’s attitude and/or personality. Yet, the main focus remains to be a woman’s weight. The number on a damn scale does not define who someone is!!! Pictures like that shouldn’t be allowed at all, in my opinion. And so what…you see a woman wearing clothing that you think is too tight or too revealing. What gives anyone the right to post their picture on the internet for the world to see? All the energy these women put into being hateful as hell, taking pictures (instead of other useful tasks) and being on Facebook all damn day could be put to better use. They should think of all the misery they cause. I don’t know about anyone else but at the end of the day I wouldn’t want to be the type of person that spent my day making someone’s life miserable. Focusing on family and your own business should be a top priority. Anyway, I hope cyber bullying is stopped soon. No one should have their life torn to pieces for no reason.
Thanks for reading.
