Today, I'm in my fourth month of training in the US Navy. I'm 3000 miles from home. I joined to give my wife a better life. Since I've been gone, she decided that she liked being single. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, after I was on deployment 6000 miles away, and because my wife was struggling pretty bad with work, kids, and taking care of everything on her own, she finally had a breakdown so I came home early to help. I found out she was fucking another Navy dude the whole time. I should've stayed out there. 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, my girlfriend of three years broke up with me because I'm in the military and I'm gone too much. The reason I enlisted in the first place is because we agreed that the money and benefits I would earn would help us be able to start a family in the future. FML
Today, I got back from a six month deployment overseas. My girlfriend of three years couldn't pick me up from the airport because she had an intramural softball game to go to. FML
Today, I found out my new Commanding Officer is my ex-wife's new boyfriend. We're going on a two year tour at sea in two weeks. The reason we got a divorce is that she couldn't handle being tied down with someone in the Navy. 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 of six months dumped me over the phone. I'm in the military and recently had to move away to another fort. We'd agreed that we would try to make long distance work. I'd even offered to buy a plane ticket to come see her each weekend. I've been gone less than two weeks. FML
Today, I found out after 6 months in basic training that my wife of 3 years was playing the long game to scam me. She took me for 25k while I was away, then left me for a homeless meth head. I've been "getting divorced" now longer than we had been happily married. FML
Today, my girlfriend of over a year broke up with me while I'm deployed overseas. Her reason why is that she needs "to be alone to better herself." FML
Today, I graduated from Basic Training. I was really looking forward to seeing my family after being away for almost three months. They decided not to come to graduation because they didn't want to spend the money to travel here. They live 30 minutes away. FML

Or make friends with the people who tell the loved ones they're dead, then ask him to tell the wife that the OP is dead, then come in through the back door in extremely pale makeup and fake cuts and gunshot wounds and such and scare her half to death. That'll show her! :D Thanks for serving in the United States Navy!

In a way, it gave her a better life... ...but I'm sorry. But with that lack of commitment, your marriage would have failed eventually anyway....

Wrong, you retard. There's quite a bit of difference between being married and being married to someone that's gone for 6-16 mos at a time and will continue to do so for many years to come. How about his commitment to her?? He LITERALLY left her!! If that's the only way he could provide for her, the marriage was doomed already and they shouldn't have gotten married. I seriously question anyone that's married and in the Navy. That is NOT a good career choice for anyone with a spouse or kids. I'm not saying it's right that she cheated - gee, OP doesn't say she did, but implies it. But it also isn't right for him to commit to the Navy which he knows will take him away for months and months. FYI; Sure navy guys take their wives and kids whereever they are stationed, but that doesn't mean squat when he goes to sea for MONTHS and MONTHS. In fact it's worse, because now the wife is far away from her family, so totally alone when he's at sea.

You are stupid. I am an army wife and I know that it's hard to be away from your husband, but that doesn't give her the right to mess around on him. She is a ****, period. Any woman who isn't ready to make a real commitment shouldn't get married. And fyi he didn't LEAVE her he was on orders, do you have that kind of reaction to women whose husbands travel for business, no you probably don't. If you love someone, you stay faithful to them.

But making it right by saying it was to 'make her life better' is worse.

My brother is in the Navy. He's decided he's waiting to get out to seriously date anyone after a few tries of women.

I know how that feels. I was in bootcamp to give my fiancee a better life. Well, while I was in for the Navy he found a MILF that was his better life. If you need someone to chat w/ about it, hit me up.

You must really be a fuckup if joining the service is the only way you can give your wife a better life.
Underwhelmed 0
Seriously, if the only way you can think of to give her a better life is to leave her for months or years at a time..... I have nothing but respect for people in the Navy, Army, Marines.....but that's not exactly the answer to improve your marriage. Your heart was in the right place, but bad call.

Well, if they're married he doesn't need to leave her for years at a time. They're married, wherever he gets stationed she can go with him and the Navy pays for it. The only exceptions are warzones and non-accompanied tours to Korea and the times he actually spends on the ships for drills and training. And since Navy deployments to warzones only last an average of about 6 months compared to the 12-15 months the Army does...it's not that bad in comparison to other branches...

If you want to give her a better life, you should not leave her alone at home & go thousands of miles away without her, potentially putting your own life at risk too. She didn't marry you just so she could be left on her own while you send the money back to pay for her. A relationship is not about money it is about love, so next time get yourself a job that doesn't pay as much, but that allows you to actually be with your wife properly. Don't make the same mistake twice or you may get left again.

it is a big sacrifice to join the service. it's hard to leave loved ones and the comforts of home. lots of people do it to provide better opportunities for their family. it isn't always about the money. they service provides job training, money for further education for yourself and spouse, medical benefits and employment opportunities for spouses.
