reddawn 2,173 Posted July 25, 2012 Report Share Posted July 25, 2012 if he is in afghan mate she may aswell live at home hadnt she???... That's the worst thing she can do she needs to make a life for herself and going home to mummy's will not help that ... The whole regiment will be away and so there will be hundreds of wives in the same boat ... The family's office will lay lots of trips on and get togethers for the wives at this difficult time and this will help her to realy get to know lots of people and intergrate herself into the regiment. Thats exactly what shes been told..........Socks you know your shit and i appreciate your input Id suggested the same as Lurcher1 said.......but even the lad himself said pretty much whats written above......besides which,for some wives its simply not possible,Bulford is 2 hours away from us but thats a trot up the road for some who are from all corners of the country....apparently some of the wives can kind of alienate themself by " going home to mum " rather than sticking it out with the others......i can understand and respect that.

And if you lads local to Bulford are tradesman of sorts then dont be shy.........they have big plans for their house and my daughters got a degree in spending money !..... 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
