Today, I came home from a one-year Army deployment, only for my wife to tell me she feels claustrophobic with me in the bed. She then asked for a divorce. FML

College Life
Packed lecture halls, a sketchy roommate and frat parties: welcome to college, the real thing.
Today, I got back from an 8-month deployment ready for relaxation and lots of sex with my husband. He said he’s come to realise he likes living alone, didn’t miss me much, and hasn’t been looking forward to me coming home. He gave me divorce papers and kicked me out to go sleep in a hotel. FML
Today, I'm seven months into a twelve month deployment. I called my fiancée, and she dumped me. The worst part is that two days ago, I re-enlisted to go to a unit an hour away from her house. FML
Today, I got back from an 8 month deployment but rather than being pleased to see me my wife wanted to continue the same argument we were having the day I left. I miss being shot at. FML
Today, my girlfriend told me she'd support my decision to stay in, or get out of the military, so I renewed my contract...... She broke up with me for it. FML
Today, my wife and I had an argument serious enough to end our marriage, while overseas on vacation, with my whole family present. Three more days of awkward tension until we get to fly home and it all ends. FML
Today, my husband of five years told me he's leaving me and will be gone when I return from Iraq. When I told him I love him and asked him not to go, he said he won't file divorce papers just yet, but he's moving out-of-state because "we need time apart." I've been gone for most of the year. FML
Today, I woke up realizing my wife of less than a year of marriage wants a divorce. We have known each other for 15 years. FML
Today, my wife, who I haven’t seen for over a month because we both travel a lot for work, got home. The last thing she said to me was that she couldn't wait to get home because she just wants some alone time. FML
Today, my wife told me how she really felt about me, and said she didn't love me anymore. We got married last month. FML
Today, my wife asked me for a divorce, shortly after I found out she's been having an affair. Then our county placed us on quarantine for Covid-19. Now I'm stuck living with her until it goes away. FML

I could be wrong, but if wife never seemed to have this problem before, you may have been replaced - boyfriend, girlfriend, whatever… I suggest before agreeing to the divorce see if you can find out from a neighbor what’s been going on. If I am right, that then improves on your settlement terms if she’s desperate to divorce.

I'm guessing that some other dude will magically cure her.

Maybe just ease up on the snuggling. My wife and I barely touch each other in bed and it's worked great

Maybe a divorce is a little hasty unless she became involved with someone else. My hubby drove otr, gone 2 months home 1-2 weeks mostly one week, for almost a decade. He was finally able to get a local job that pays the same so he is home every day. To say it is an adjustment is an understatement. He had his own household set up in his truck and I at our house. We each do things differently from cleaning to grocery shopping. It has only been a few months but I have to fight the urge to entertain my husband. Before on his time home I would cook in bulk his fav foods, have things planned for us to do etc up until he left. Now that he is home I still want to do that. I also started a bad habit of snuggling up with a pillow. He has lovingly nic named it cockblocker. I told him it was part of how I dealt with him being gone. He still gets upset because I use the pillow but he at least started to understand. I would have to mentally shut down when he was gone so I could deal with things (he hauls hazmat gasses). I can't imagine how it would feel had we been in your situation. Maybe before jumping to divorce she needs to give it time to settlle down acclimate to each other again. She may also need some support from other wives who have/had to deal with things like this. Best of luck to you, thank you for your service.
