I have watched a few minutes here and there of Army wives. Some is believable. Being a Military wife, Navy, I know most Military wives are just back stabbers. My husband has been in the military since 98. I have been with him about 10 years, married 8 with 2 kids. I have met some interesting wives. The ones who are so nice to a persons face whome they call a friend, than you hear them talk nasty about them like their the plague. Wives who friend others in hope of finding out info first. The stupid ones who post dates on FB or tell others, ony to turn around next patrol and be the damn date police. The ones who friend you to get things they want and than dump you when they cant get anymore or when you actually need that friend for moral support. Not to mention FRG. Holy cow thats nothing but gossip and liars. Yes, its hard to find a good military wife friend. I do consider myself the rare type. I dont put ppl down and Im there if you need someone, even if you have treated me like crap. Last boat we were on, was the absolute worst. Alot of stuck up NEW military wives, who went to one meeting and thought they new it all. Long story short I found a lot of them hated me, yet all i had done was help them when no one else would and be a true friend. Only to be slapped in the face. No wonder so many dislike military wives.

My husband is a marine and I can tell you not all of us wives are like you mentioned above. I would never do any of that! I know there are some that like to surround themselves in drama but as soon as I find someone like that I drop them as a friend in search of someone less dramatic. I am sure that there are some navy wives where you are that are not like that. You just need to look harder and remember not everyone is as mature as the few of us. Good luck! :)

Oh yes, I know not every military wife is like that. I just dont know why they have to act like that, especially the new ones. Im an old one I guess you would say. Been with my husband for 10 years and hes been in the military our whole relationship. I try to teach the new ones the rules, but I cant tolerate the dramam they seem to need to in their life. I have two kids, a mortgage and a husband and a life, I dont need extra drama.

this is how i see it... Navy wives are jerks. It's like high school. It takes time to find a true friend and military people don't care so get involved in something outside of the military community so then you can find something more family friendly. Go to church gatherings, community fairs or sewing classes there are nice people out there. And not all "new navy wives" are jerks they are just intimidated of the older ones and scared about patrols not everyone is a vet.

Agree. Not all military wives are bad and I do believe they are intimated by the ones who are as you say older. They come in and want to think they know everything, but really their just learning. It all takes time. Finding friends outside the military is a good thing to look into. Also hanging around ppl more my age or more mature ppl who dont think life is a contest.
