terry_29_99 Posted October 21, 2005 Posted October 21, 2005 Okay,... has anyone seen the Seinfeld episode where George goes apeshit because his, "...worlds are colliding!" Well, I've hit that fucking point and I do not know how to tell my significant other to back the hell off and stay out of my professional world.... AAAAAAAAAAAAAAGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH I'm a soldier, a senior enlisted soldier in charge of a company of troops,... we have a new battalion commander who's new wife (new wife) has seen too many fucking movies... she's decided that her role is to step on the wives of anyone junior to her..... my wife has been running a family readiness organization for teh soldiers in our battalion for nearly 2 years. THis new colonel's wife is stepping in a dictating how things will be, and she's throwing her husband's rank around. I'm telling my wife to subltly back off and let the bitch fall on her face... I'm catching so much shit over this that I can't shower enough to lose the stench. .... am I a spineless peice of shit? I know what teh military answers are, but they're not neccessarliy the 'practical' answers. anyone have any ideas? terry Quote
Lethalfind Posted October 21, 2005 Posted October 21, 2005 Your catching shit from your wife, what does she want you to do?? You can't go and tell your commanding officers wife to go to hell. I've never been in the armed forces but from my understanding that would be inappropriate and get you in a lot of trouble. It seems like your advice is best. I mean if this woman who is butting in has no idea then she will fall on her face. Would there be trouble for you if your wife had words with this other woman?? I would imagine so. I don't know what else you can do. I also have to say thank you for the job you do. I think of the people and their families in the armed forces often and the huge sacrifices they make for our freedom. Quote I am a pathetic piece of shit leeching single mom.
ToriAllen Posted October 21, 2005 Posted October 21, 2005 First, let me say, welcome to WYPO. I'm not sure what to tell you. Perhaps you could support your woman's feelings in private, but let her handle the other woman in her own way. Let her know you agree, but you don't want to be drug into the middle of it.

Outlaw2747 Posted October 21, 2005 Posted October 21, 2005 So I take it you are a First Sergeant then. I was only in active army for three years (Specialist) and I can tell you that some shady bullshit happens in the military. But since you get a little bit more respect for your rank, have you tried talking to her or at least the colonel himself? I am sure if he is a man he will listen to you. Hopefully...
