Join Milspouse Conversations as we are led by our conversation starter and Merchandise Graphic Designer Ny Cruz in a discussion about Friendships in the military spouse community.

✤Making friends in a constantly changing can be difficult

✤Sometimes we are moving away and sometimes our friends are moving away, and how this can impact friendships.

✤Another impact is that friendships can be more of convenience relationships rather than authentic bonds of friendship, especially in overseas environments.
