Today, the day before I was going to move in with my army fiancé, he was told he would be deployed very soon. I can't pay for the apartment without him, and now have to move back in with my parents until he returns from active duty. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, I found out that my fiancé is going to be deployed on our wedding day. FML
Today, I packed up to get ready to move to my boyfriend’s. I just graduated high school and I don’t get along with his mom, but I have no other choice of living. I was supposed to move in with his family tomorrow but now his mom won’t let me. It was last minute, and I’m basically homeless. FML
Today, I caught a flight to see my boyfriend, who is stationed in the army 300 miles away. When I was just 15 minutes from the base he called to say that we should break up. Now I'm heading back to California, single and broke. FML
Today, my boyfriend came home from a two week vacation and told me I needed to move out. FML
Today, I'm seven months into a twelve month deployment. I called my fiancée, and she dumped me. The worst part is that two days ago, I re-enlisted to go to a unit an hour away from her house. FML
Today, I just got a new assignment for the moving company I work for. Two weeks ago my fiancé dumped me and I moved out of the house. Almost all of the furniture was mine and it took forever. The new moving assignment I have is moving her new boyfriend into my old house. FML
Today, my fiancé's mother made him pack his stuff and move to Montana while I was at work. I came home to a half-written note because she wouldn’t let him finish. We own a house together. FML
Today, my boyfriend told me he’d have a surprise for me when I got home. The surprise was he’d moved out, dumped me, and cut me off from his share of the bills, because he’s not interested in marriage and babies. I can’t afford the rent by myself so I’m going to have to move back to my mother's. FML
Today, my newly ex-fiancé, the father of my 5-year-old child, moved out of state with no warning. I just spent my last $500 paying off his car, and the rent is due tomorrow. FML
Today, I learned that my husband is getting deployed for we don’t know how long, and I’ll be left all alone, in a different country far away from home. FML

when you're an "army wife," minor/major setbacks is what you will have to deal with. It wont be easy.

YDI for not having married him already, for not having a joint bank account so you would have the money for the apartment and also for not having a job to support your ass. My brother is in the military his wife thought she could sit on her fat ass all day spend his money she got a wake up call

unless something changed from when I was in the Corps, he can have all or a portion of the rent taken out of his check and sent to the landlord/realtor. good luck to you, military life is rough, and even more so for the spouse.

Your fiancé is going to war, and all you care about is having to move back in with your parents?

What's so bad about moving back in with your parents?I had to while my husband was deployed.Suck it up,sister.This is the life of a military spouse,and you knew what you were getting into when you got with him.If that was before he enlisted,then you knew what you were getting into when he enlisted.Soooo STFU and support him since he's the one going to a warzone.I'm a damn proud USMC wife,shit gets hard,you suck it up & keep pushing forward.

The army pays rent...adds the ammount to the check. So he gets deployment pay active pay hazard pay pending on his MOS and rent and so on. He can have rent all added to his check if his name is on the leas. Just have to have the management print it out and all that. Tell him to talk to his comander.

Only if they are married, but since they are not there is no reason for any of his paycheck to be withheld and sent to anyone.

Actually, you can have it done automatically. married or not.

it has nothing to do with marriage, he lives there too, the army is obligated to pay for a persons rent, if shes losing her home so is he. she'll need to pay for food still, but the army will be paying for the rent and utility's.

if you get married then the army will pay for ur housing that is if he wants to get married in a courtroom it would be faster

Im in the army, and the only way she would get his BAH is if he's married to her. If he's not on active duty to begin with he may only get it for the time hes overseas. But they would have to get married, then he has to file for BAH (pain inthe ass sometimes.. still waiting for mine 5months later) and then he has to provide the BAH to her once hes overseas not to mention he has to have a power of attorny overseas like that to begin with to get anything done in the states.

Why bother getting married? You're probably just going to "get lonely" and cheat on him while he's overseas anyway...

Way to generalize. Though, to be fair, the OP does seem like that type.
