I think I’m going to get myself a term life insurance or whole life insurance policy. I’ve been reading about life insurance lately and if something would ever happen to me I want to know that my girlfriend is covered and doesnt have to worry about how she’s going to make ends meet. Im going to call an insurance agent this week and schedule a meeting.

My girlfriend’s best friend just sent out engagement announcements to let everyone know that her and her boyfriend of almost 5 years were finally tying the knot. We were kind of surprised when we received the announcement. We’ve known both of them since before they even got together and they really didnt seem like they planned on getting married any time soon. I wish them all the luck.

My anniversary is coming up and I still can’t decide what to get my girlfriend. I know I’m going to buy jewelry, I just can’t decide what to buy. She was looking at this nice diamond bracelet the last time we went to the mall, so I’m thinking about going back and picking it up to surprise her. She never thinks I’ll remember little things like that, so it should be a very nice surprise.

I met my husband online at a social website and things turned out pretty ok for us. But if I had to do it all over again, I wouldn’t advise anyone to date someone that they meet online. The Internet is an appropriate place for one to create a facade and stay behind that as long as they want to. They sugarcoat their words and tell you what you want to hear and by the time you meet them in person, you realize that you didn’t know them at all. There are a lot of things that I did not know about my husband that were revealed after we started dating and committing our lives to each other. Things that if I had known before, I would not have been with him today. But experience as they say is a good teacher. One just got to make careful choices when it comes to their dates and whom they want to spend the rest of their lives with. This can be achieved by asking a lot of questions and conducting background checks on the person. There are a lot of judicial court websites that would give you criminal or civil information on a person for free. Lastly, let intuition be your guide. Most of the times it is what saves most from getting deeper into trouble.

Being a military wife has its ups and downs, especially when your spouse is deployed and contact is scarce. But organizations such as the Military Family Program within the military have helped to make the burden somewhat lighter. For the spouse that is left behind, the program is designed to help them along whether it be to offer financial assistance, free household repair services and even psychological assistance on how to cope while your spouse is overseas.

I’ve benefited from a lot of the military’s help and I am forever indebted to them for this. Even the kids of the military parent do not go unnoticed. I was quite surprised when my kid received a certificate and a medal of merit as a thank you for what her father is doing to help protect the country. She’s too young to understand the meaning of it now, but I’m keeping it someplace safe so she can enjoy it when she gets older.

Why can’t a man and woman just be friends with any sexual strings attached? That’s what I would like to know. Too often men start off being just friends to women only to try to get with them later and I don’t agree with this. One of my girlfriends had been friends with this guy for a long time. One day he stopped by her house to give her money as a birthday gift and then he was gone. Fast-forward some days later and the guy was propositioning her for a sexual rendezvous. Needless to say, she returned the money to him in the form of a gift for Christmas. Some men need to decide what they really want from women these days. It’s best that they come straight out and tell a woman exactly what they want instead of disguising it as a male/female friendship. Gifting a woman some money does not make her your whore nor does she owe you for all of her sexual life for this.
