onlycangetbetter Posted November 23, 2013 Posted November 23, 2013 So a bit about me - I am late 30s. I came home from a deployment in a combat zone only to find out within a week that my wife did not want to be married anymore. I never really got much of an explanation from her, but cannot get past the inescapable conclusion of what really was behind this. I tried to fight for the marriage, but to no avail. Four months later I am still struggling with making sense of something that seems senseless. She is gone and has moved out and I am left alone to pick up the pieces. I am lonely but know that I need to get comfortable being alone. I have had some better days, but on my worst days (like today), I am paralyzed, questioning myself and trying to figure out how this could happen to me. How do I get past these bad days?
d0nnivain Posted November 23, 2013 Posted November 23, 2013 Thank you for your service. Unfortunately many people are not cut out to handle the stress deployment has on the family & those left to keep the home fires burning. The military is doing a much better job helping both the service person & the spouse deal with this. Check out your command's offerings for help or ask your unit leader for a referral to a resource.
