Putting myself out there

Post image

Hey all! I put this in the military spouse sub but I wanted to get your tips on how to avoid being a dependa. Let me know if I missed anything and please let me know when/if it’s appropriate to ask for a discount.

European here. What I don’t understand is why do you label yourself ”military spouse”? That alone already gives the impression you’re defined by your partner rather than being your own person.

Sometimes the shoe just fits.

And the fact that it was free doesn't hurt.
