At any rate. If you're familiar with military life, then you know terms like "card chaser, barracks rats, contract marriages" etc.
So here's a question, based on a thread on another site.
boy wants out of barracks. meets girl, marries girl. they START DATING after being MARRIED. then there's the classic "we fell in love and had babies"! like they did it the traditional way. no one knows they're married.
then, they(probably she), want to plan a "vow renewal aka wedding"(and no one is sure what to call it, bc only a handful of people know the truth!), b/c now they have this wonderful life.
here's THE question. wtf do ya'll think of this?! I called it like I saw it. A contract marriage, BAH fraud(in her thread she says this is what the marriage was about to begin with), and I essentially could have gone on, but I mostly covered those 2, a couple times, in different wording. You know, JIC she didn't get it.
Don't get me wrong, that's "great" they turned it around. But conspiracy to commit fraud, followed by the fraudulent act, and THEN wanting to celebrate it?! Am I the only one calling it what it is? It actually super pissed me off, b/c while I've known people who've done CM's, NO ONE usually knows. NOR do they generally celebrate it! I do give props, b/c they're actually "together" now. But still.
(and before anyone recognizes me from that board, yes, my FH did this. he gets shit from me, and he gives me shit for mine. We've both done it. But, we aren't with those people, and I was actually dating the guy I married. I just wasn't willing to run cross country with my ex's kid).
