I don't fucking get it. I will never get it! I don't care how long I date a navy man or if I am married to a admiral for 800 years, I will never fucking wear some bullshit clothes that say his name on it, never! You will never see me with a facebook picture that says anything like "MM3 Bob Newhart owns my heart". I admit, I did once wear my boyfriend's PT shirt to work, but I needed something to wear and it was the first thing I saw! I am also fond of the anvy sweat pants, they are comfy, but personalized navy clothes? navy pictures? navy necklaces? panties?!?! really ladies?!?! You really want people to take us seriously when we're walking around with our man's job written across our boobs? It reminds me of a bad band t-shirt. Like we're fan of our men, not lovers of them.
I am all for being proud of your man. Believe me when I say I am very proud of mine. He works hard. but his job is just his job. I wouldn't wear a shirt with his name on it if he worked anywhere else so why wear one with his name and rank? It's just fucking silly. And no, I'm not putting everyone who does this down. Lots of girls who aren't navy wear stuff with their man's name. I am not putting down my friends' "Mrs. so and so" jacket. I'm just saying that it's gone too far. One cute shirt you had made when you were a newly wed and wear on laundry days or on pier when they are coming home is a lot different than wearing navy wife crap all the time.
Half this shit doesn't say anything, but "navy wife" on it. Why do we have to put ourselves into a little box ladies? I am not every navy girlfriend, I don't really want to slap that title on my t-shirt because it's got nothing to do with me. I don't care if my boyfriend has the same job as you, I am not about to put myself in the same box as you. I don't gossip, I don't cheat, I don't giggle at the thought of my man, I am just not you. I have never once in my life seen anyone with a shirt on that said "Teacher's wife" or "police officer's wife". I would think my boyfriend was crazy if I saw him wearing a "Emfp boyfriend" T-shirt. So why is it okay for us? because somehow being a military wife became less about loving our men and more about bragging.
Yes, that's right, you are just bragging. I don't care how cute you think your T-shirts, jackets, pants, necklaces, earrings, hat, shoes, whatever the fuck you've paid lots of money to have your man's name or just his job on, you're bragging. Things like that are why navy wives get a bad reputation. You people make it look like we are all out for the fame, not for love. You rub your husband's job in people's face, what else are they supposed to think? If bill gate's wife walked around with a shirt that said "Richest man in the world's wife" people would think she was a bitch who was only after him for his money. I think the same thing when I see navy wives in things like that. Of course I don't know what money they are after because we all know navy men aren't rich, but it's the same theory. You look like you are after your man for his job.
New flash! he may not always have the same job! that's right, your husband could get out of the navy. Then what are you going to do with those navy wife panties?
