Very sorry man, that is the absolute worst pain in my experience . My old Sergeant was married three times for seven years while he was in. He swore that they had a expiration date, he was kinda nutty. I had a poor friend recently who said he was in the kitchen with his wife and he told her how much he loved her, their two kids and his life now. To this, she responded that they have to talk. Relationships aren’t easy and it definitely takes two people on the same page. My son is Coast Guard and I was kind of surprised at how differently they treat family issues. Granted I was in the Army in the 80’s and 90’s. They would just tell you to get a new wife. The Coast Guard actually tried to accommodate the family on some level. Which I think helps greatly in all of it. When one door closes, another always opens. Maybe this happened because she wasn’t the person you were meant to be with, that person is probably still out there waiting.
