Today, my boyfriend of over two years said he wants to get married before he leaves for basic training. Not because he loves me, but because he'll get paid more if he's married. This is the only time he's been excited about marriage. FML

Wow. My husband and I just got married today. He's also in the military. And he could care less about the money. I mean yea, it's going to help with bills for our house and stuff but we got married because we love each other. And let me tell you. being apart is the hardest thing ever. so if he's only thinking about the money don't bother in putting yourself through a long distance relationship. seriously.

As a married Woman who's Husband is in the Army You better think long and hard. Because being married to the army is no joke. And he doesn't sound like he cares. It is VERY DIFFICULT to withstand distance like that...

If he doesn't love you enough to marry you for any reason other than money, and had expressed not wanting to get married in the past when you clearing want to, why are you wasting your time on him?

maybe it's because he doesn't think marriage matters? his POV is "isn't caring enough?" Plus if for some reason u two slipt u don't need to pay to officially break it off.
