It's so hard to make friends as an adult. My husband and I don't have kids and his military career has moved us every 2 years for the last decade. We've lived literally everywhere except the PNW, though it's always been at the top of my list. It seems every place has "townies" and if you're not it, you're just not.

What about other military wives? It’s tough. There should be a Friend ap. Like a dating app but for new besties.

Military spouses + communities are a whole complicated thing. The element of not having kids makes it more difficult, too. I think internet connections and the lack of common community spaces has made friendship more elusive than ever across the board.

There is an app for friends. It’s Bumble. But good luck getting many people to move past 2-3 messages. Then again, maybe it’s just me. Lol

Interesting about military culture. Of course there’s an app for friendships. Haha.
