lawdog1980 Posted October 15, 2011 Share Posted October 15, 2011 My wife left me 3 weeks ago to go home and stay with her parents. I am currently deployed and have been since January. She said that she was emotionally drained and needed to go home. She wanted a separation. We have been married for 6 years now and have 2 kids together. I have deployed 4 times since we have been married. I know that it has been rough on her, and the husband that she married has changed over those deployments. She doesnt want to talk to me and said that we should just email each other. Well now she is not emailing me any more. I just want to talk to her and find out what is going on and how to fix it. I am getting out of the Marine Corps soon and this life will go away. I want to be able to talk to me kids too. It is a daily battle for me with my emotions. I just want to break down and cry. I love her and miss her so much and I am willing to do anything for her. Link to post Share on other sites
imagine Posted October 15, 2011 Share Posted October 15, 2011 Firstly, snoop through your friends. Secondly. You are changed thanks to your circumstances. Check the list at marriage builders regard her and your emotional needs. Thirdly. Her life has been neglected. This is the leading cause for divorce. Both of you will need to spend at least 25 hours each week meeting each others emotional needs. I wish that soldiers leaders would learn from the Bible the required domestic times.

Author lawdog1980 Posted October 15, 2011 Author Share Posted October 15, 2011 Well there are going to be some challenges with trying to spend time with her and meet her emotional needs. I am currently stationed in North Carolina and she moved back home to Texas to live with her parents. She said she is not coming back. I plan on moving back home when I get out but that is not for over a year. I am trying to give her space right now but with me being out here it is tough. Link to post Share on other sites
joseph17 Posted October 17, 2011 Share Posted October 17, 2011 Sounds to me that you changed and she needs time to think if she wants to be with someone that is different from who she fell in love with. Work on being the man she fell in love with and get back to being yourself. We all change but your wife should be involved with these changes. Link to post Share on other sites
