Is it normal to not want to date anyone with a military/navy background?
A friend of mine who wanted to enter the military asked me whether I wanted to date/marry anyone from the military and I replied "no". I would not want to invest that much emotion into someone who may end up coming home in a body bag. I mean if I were pregnant and my husband suddenly died then my child will be fatherless. As well, people who have been in the military are often of a certain personality type. They tend to be very stubborn and don't get along well with non-military types because they follow orders and they have to be of that personality, but it just doesn't fit well with society. Finally military men are violent and sometimes beat their wives. Thoughts?
Also, I posted this on another forum and got this response which I thought was insightful: Read R4:
