Thanks you for your service

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 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

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 fiancé left for a 6-month deployment overseas. I waved him away, came back inside alone, and cried. I know this is what I signed up for, but the cat could've shown more sympathy than staring at me and walking away. 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

The old switcheroo

Today, my fiance's divorce was finalized and we went out to dinner to celebrate. I stepped away to use the bathroom, then came back to a note on the table saying, "I'm going to enjoy single life, thanks!" He left me with the bill. 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 went to spend some time with my family. Unbeknownst to me, while I was having quality time with my family, my boyfriend of a year and a half was packing up his belongings and going back to his estranged wife. 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, 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

Call the cops, have him charged with illegal eviction. Also, yes, sue him for everything he has.

To say that’s a shitty deal is an understatement! If you were married, many states have “community property laws” which say that other than property that was brought into the relationship (pre-existing real estate, cars, money, etc.) that anything acquired while you were married gets split 50:50 between the spouses. You cannot “take him for everything he has” - that would not be legal or fair. But you can force a division of the property that was acquired during the marriage. By the way, it’s usually better to avoid protracted legal battles in a divorce - It can eat up a lot of money and time so that the lawyers are the only ones who benefit. Talk to an attorney, at least in the USA you can usually get a free initial consultation which will let you understand what your options are. And if possible I recommend a mediator instead of dueling legal teams - It is usually fairer and in the long run less painful.

OP's husband didn't seem too concerned about 50/50 when he illegally kicked her out of the house, and presumably kept all of the items within it. Hell, she should get more for the emotional distress he caused with his callous cruelty.
