Leaving on an airplane

My soon to be "not my husband" is supposed to leave today for two glorious weeks. TWO WEEKS! That's two weeks of a clean house, no yelling, no arguing, no tons of laundry (cuz he's worse than a woman), no shitty guilt inspiring nasty comments, no glued to the computer or playstation, no everything. Oh, privacy, I adore you.

How does a marriage come to this end? My feelings are just one of the many indicators that this marriage truly is over. I don't even care that he's going into a combat zone for five days. Just go. The last month we have either argued or I've had to listen about this trip. He has such an obssessive personality. Nothing can just go off without a hitch, it has to be this big fucking drama for everything!

I can't wait to have someone to talk to that doesn't constantly talk about work. Certainly there must be more interesting things to discuss? Poetry, books, philosophy, religion, politics, something.... I have been so starved for intellectualy stimulation since I've met him. Any time I've even tried to start conversations, he gets defensive and turns it into an argument.

I'm just so glad for the break. This means I will only have to endure 4 more weeks with him. That's it. Thank goodness.

I wonder... why does marriage always end up being taking each other for granted?
Why dont u feel the atttachment towards your hubby?
Even when he is going for combat?
Probably you looking for your own space... your own lost world:)

Sorry, about that. For the non-military language speakers! Temporary Duty.

I don't think marriage has to come to both parties taking each other for granted. I have worked very hard not too, but it doesn't go both ways.

I stopped having an attachment to my husband when he engaged in an emotional affair with another woman and asked me for a divorce. It sounds so cold to not care when he's going into a combat area, but that should give you some idea of the emotional hell he has put me through.

I am definitely looking for my own space. I can't wait to not be his personal slave, whore, or maid.....

You must do what's best for you. When do you go back to the states?

It looks like mid-March right now. He get's back from Afghanistan in a couple of weeks, and we will put the request in then. Soon.
