I dated my husband for a year before he went into the Navy, and I've known him since I was like 15, we just were'nt bffl Until adulthood. We hung out in different crowds.
But since he joined the Navy, I've definelty noticed a difference.
He's still a huge sweetheart, but he doesn't have much patience anymore, and is easily angered. It's not a terrible change, but it's noticable to me.
You're not the only one!
