Are ALL military wives like this?

The hardest thing since we moved away from home is making friends who I can TRUST. Almost the women I have met here are so catty and seem to really enjoy trying to create drama. Here's my little story if you will.... After asking a "friend" for advice on a certain extremely difficult subject (in confidence) that had to deal with another friend, it gets back to that person that I'm talking bad about her and her family which was sooooo far from the case. I was upset she got the information the way she did but happy she got it none the less. It's just so depressing that I confided in a person who I thought was a good friend and they couldn't respect me enough to keep their mouth shut. This incident traveled from 4 females until it got to the person who it had to do with. Is there nothing better to do then to talk about other people? sheesh! Sighhhhh.... I'll never have friends like I do back home. I've learned to keep my mouth shut and not trust anyone else here like I did with that person. Bottom line is I'm 28 years old, I'm a mom, I DO NOT DO DRAMA!

Oh sweetie, I'm so sorry. I think it is just because you are in such a closed environment on base. It's like high school, you are all there in such tight quarters. I know several military wives that are not like that at all. I think you need to connect with some through blogs for advice if you need it because you will get it without them knowing the people involved personally.
I know that you will find a genuine friend because YOU are such a wonderful person. Keep your head up... HUGGLES!!
Feel free to get in touch with me if you need to find any military wives to contact.

I imagine it IS like high school. Lots of women with a need to fit in, really quickly. Good luck and don't give up on finding a true friend; just be more careful.

Unfortunatly 95% of military wives are like this...I speak from a lot of experince. There's an upside...yes I actually said it :)Once you do find those select few that aren't catty and drama filled you will find a sister for life. I have a handful of amazing friends all over the US...I wouldn't trade them for the world...so hang in there you will find a friendship with unbreakable bonds!
