      Yeah, and after 65,535 stories, too! So much effort and nothing to show for it!

      Sad, really.

    AWhen you feel helpless and dependant you become that way even if it is not true. See an atorney and find out exactly what you can expect and begin to plan an exit plan. It is empowering to have a plan

    If your husband is in the US Armed forces, and you have been married to him for a qualifiying amount of years while he is on active duty, you are entitled to a part of his pension. A 1982 law (Uniform Services Former Spouses Protection Act) allows state divorce courts to divide military retirement as marital property jointly earned.



    Might want to check into that if you have not done so.

    From my time in the military I would observe that blokes in said armed services are usually uniquely unsuitable to have relationships with as a general rule. If they aren't pretty dysfunctional before they go in, it doesn't take long for them to become so.

    Anyway, that ain't helping your immediate needs Sister A.

    What stopped you proceeding to divorce back at the time of your 26th anniversary ?

    Tread your own path.

      You need to see a lawyer ASAP to see how a separation and divorce would play out for you, because you may get more than you think, you may be ok with just the alimony in the separation.

      He is very abusive to you. Lawyers visit first time is often free.

      Oh. Controversial!

      But as it is is I tend to agree with you, based, admittedly on my own anecdotal experience and evidence.

      And it is just not what it does to marriages and relationships, it's what it does to the people. On the whole I don't think it is natural.

      LOL! Even imagining that it is in some way appropriate to label it as "unnatural" is absurd, but there you go. We called them "Our heroes", pat them condescendingly on the head, and otherwise forget them and abandon them and then whine like stuck pigs when it becomes a problem in our faces.

      Reminds me of meeting a Royal Marine who served in the Falklands War and ever since then has been wandering the streets, estranged from family, and every so often when it gets to be too much he either picks a fight and gets arrested or signs himself voluntarily into the local mental health unit. He seemed to have a standing arrangement and understanding with them. It seemed to be his preferred version of "care in the community".

      Since then we have had the Balkans, Iraq (twice) and now Afghanistan. And in the meantime the toll keeps rising, while Vietnam is still 'unfinished business' for many.
