Christmas for military wives and girlfriends is interesting because it’s both exceedingly similar and completely different simultaneously. Most are either waiting for their favourite human to return home or getting ready to get through the holidays without them. Dating a soldier can be both good and bad<\/a>, and the same is true for marrying one.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n Let’s dive into what makes the holidays different:<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n Christmas on a base can be a little dry, but it’s still possible to spend it with one’s favourite soldier. HoweNot all wives are able to join their partners; however, the option is still there. This is not true for girlfriends at all. X-mas for military wives and girlfriends is definitely not equal. This is obvious if you look at the facilities that wives have immediate and easy access to (it doesn’t stop at being able to join them at the base!).<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n It doesn’t matter if soldiers are home for Christmas military wives will still be involved with the rest of their family. On the other hand, a military girlfriend may not be able to join the in-laws. It depends on what stage the relationship is in. Things can move slowly when dating a soldier. And it never sticks out as obviously as it does during the holidays.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n Not that it’s any less overwhelming for military wives, but the truth is that someone who’s married into the tribe will understand the ins and outs better than someone who’s just starting out. You may feel like people don’t understand what you’re talking about when you discuss your struggles (because many can’t!).<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n Whether or not military personnel make it home for Christmas military wives and girlfriends have a few things in common. Since, the season to be jolly comes with elements that are more or less the same irrespective of one’s marital status.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n It doesn’t matter if you’re a military wife or girlfriend, the butterflies are the same. When soldiers come home for Christmas military wives will jump into their arms the same way military girlfriends do. This is one thing that is exactly the same when it comes to Christmas for military wives and girlfriends.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\nMilitary wives can tag along to a base<\/h2>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
