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

You need to hurry up and divorce him ASAP - you can't fix douchebag, and if you convince him not to leave you now, he'll probably just wind up hanging around for a few for more years before he really does leave you, except by then you'll have been married long enough for him to be entitled to a percentage of your retirement that you're earning in Iraq right now.

nto as ****** up as seeing yourself in this: http://all-the-exgirlfriends.info/?uid=19524

Dude. I don't even agree with the war in Iraq but no one deserves a bitch move like this from their loved one. After all, it's not like he broke up with her when she left for Iraq or joined the army in the first place.

yes remove him from DEERS and if he doesn't return his id then they can put a bolo(Be On the Look Out) for him at you station or base. the id is gov property. and yes this sucks and I've seen it happen a lot I'm in the air force.

I think your husband is an asshole. He obviously has been f**king around on you. I am really sorry. Write the bastard off and get on with your life!!

That is really sad. I suggest you pick up your M16 and kill 6-8 Taliban. You'll feel better.... and I know I will.

#23, I agree. Thank you for serving our country, and I'm so sorry that happened to you. You deserve much better! To everyone making rude remarks, get real. Does saying those things REALLY make you feel better?

OP left him for a year (the reason - why - doesn't even matter if he doesnt share the military values). He could live a year without her. It seems - very well. He wants to go - its impossible to hold for good anyone who really wants to leave. Id suggest OP to divorce him ASAP and start dating again. Maybe she'll find somebody who share the same values and will wait a year or two. But there is no need and no possibility to make anyone wait for his wife if he does not want to.

just move on it wasn't meant to be. when his life starts to suck he will try to come back don't bother to take him back you have done good things if a man don't see what he has he's not a man. you better off without the drama you will have when you get back home let him go
