Well, two years ago I made the mistake of marrying at a young age (18) to a soldier in the marine core. Well actually I had dated him before he joined all through out our high school years. I chose to continue my education by attending a university ( UCLA) while he bought into all the army propaganda and lies and enlisted in the marine core. He now in currently deployed in Afghanistan fighting for some misguided reasons and probably just bring more hurt and havoc upon the innocent people of Afghanistan. All thought out his deployment and time spent away for army related issues, I have realized how little love he felt for me, he actually made the choice my abandoning me to go half way across the world to have an " adventure" as the army claims. I have already begun to pack and leave but I am just left wondering if there is away I could end our marriage now. I really just want to move on form this mistake. Do I have to wait for him to come back?

First, I would like to say that YOU are the immature one. How is your husband immature if he is sacrificing his life to preserve democracy and give the ACTUAL innocents a chance to start living their lives? The fact that you sympathize with the Taliban is really pathetic. I bet you despise the Special Forces, since they protect you from progress-hating, women beating terrorists. You should enlist yourself. If you see half of what your husband sees everyday, maybe you won't be quick to criticize his life decision. The U.S. is helping over there, not hurting. Although the reason for our initial involvement may be iffy to some, there is absolutely no question that there are people there who intend nothing but harm to innocents and, ultimately, you. If wasn't for people like your husband, the world would be a much worse place. I myself am soon enlisting, and I feel honored that I can walk the Earth with men like your husband. As for the divorce, if you have a single shred of respect or love for him, wait until he gets back to set up the details.
Ok first.. It's Marine Corps.
Second, you signed on for this lifestyle. He never abandoned you.
Third, the military does not purposefully target innocent civilians. Is he in the Army or the Marine Corp? You mention two distinctly different branches.
If you want to end your marriage make an appointment with the legal adviser on base. Typically they have open appointments two days a week for divorce and custody issues- otherwise you will need an appointment. They can begin the paperwork- divorces take time and you both need to come to turns as I assume he has been taking care of you financially and you have acquired possessions.
Wow, if you attend UCLA the American College system really has failed. First off your husband loves his country. Sometimes those of us who serve don't care for the things that are going on, but we do them because we believe that overall the government is competent. Second, you stated he was in the Marine Corp and then the Army...You obviously are just here to get a rise out of service members.
I hope you got your jollies. If you aren't joking I'm glad for your husband. At least down the road maybe he'll be able to find a woman who's understanding of the life style he has chosen..instead of some babbling idiot.
Thank you for your time.
Congratulations! If there were a contest on Yahoo!Answers for most ignorant, uninformed question of the month, you would win first, second and third!
Oh, and it's "Corps"- not "core".
The Marine Corps is not the Army, nor are we affiliated in any way (other than falling under the Department of Defense).
We don't bring "hurt and havoc" upon innocent people, in spite of what FOX News would like you to believe for their ratings' sake.
I wish you the best of luck at your liberal arts college, and an early brake failure on a mountain road somewhere in the Mojave desert.
I recommend you move out of the country. It is obvious who loves who in the information you provided. Quite obviously, you are only in love with yourself and the love for someone else is probably being fulfilled by someone else. Maybe you should show your strong support for your husband and show him how much you love him by getting involved in what he is doing. Don't take the road of "an adventure", etc... as you go where they tell you to go. I hope that if you leave him during his time of deplyment, you find yourself facing karma. Where's the decency in you young people where you think marriage is worth less than a contract and you can "change it up" when you get tired of the complications. I'll bet you spent the BAQ money he recieved for you being married and I'll bet you had no problem in enjoying the benefits you, personally, received from being his dependant. Cut up your ID card!!!
WOW?! Really?Im actually embarrassed for you, for asking these questions... I am amazed at the stuff people put on here....I am a PROUD Army wife, my husband left last wed. For his second tour in Iraq,Defending YOUR freedom and you are this ungrateful? He should be leaving YOU! The last thing OUR soldiers need is drama from the home front. You're suppose to be there for them and support them for doing what a lot of others don't have the courage or strength to do! You should just delete this post and pretend you didn't write it! Marriage is more than signing a piece of paper...
well i agree with you on the first part...you DID make a mistake in marrying him!...Did you think marrying someone (who you KNEW was going into the service) was going to be all happiness and complete satisfaction!!!...its not all about the great benefits like healthcare, a home, and the comfort that you dont need a thing in the world...well i can certainly tell you its not!!!! Nothing will unsettle you like not hearing from your husband for days even WEEKS, because hes stuck in a hole with 12 other guys who havnt talked to there other halves either!!..you dont think hes dying to hear your voice or impatiently waitiing for the next letter from you and hopefully..JUST HOPEFULLY he'll get a chance to write back and tell him hes ok...
Sure leave him...if thats your mentality now, then god knows the kinda support youve gave him while hes doing his duty for his nation...you should have been proud!
At least he'll have two things all soldiers have...there gun, which all will trust more then God! and the overwhelming feeling of PRIDE...
you fail as a wife young lady....please stay away from service men in the future.
Yes, you did make a mistake. You married someone with integrity, shame you don't have any. Yes, you can divorce your husband while he is deployed, depending on your state's rules for divorce. Consult an attorney, you can use the free ones at base legal, one of those benefits from your husband's service. I hope you are not completely as low as you sound and by that I mean stealing all your husbands pay and allowances. Leave him with dignity and don't take all his money that HE earned while living in tents with little to no creature comforts to speak of.
Yes, you are allowed to make mistakes in life, I hope you learn from them and don't hurt this man too much.
I agree with Rick and most everyone else on here! You are full of yourself! My husband joined the Army AFTER we already had 2 kids. Now we have another. He joined cause he LOVES his country. He did not choose it over me either. He is currently deployed, and I support him 100%.
Your husband is so better off without you! I hope he finds someone that will love him for putting his life on the line everyday.
See a lawyer. I don't think you have to wait. Enjoy your University education and just remember that girls in Afghanistan are having acid thrown on them to prevent them from going to any school at all.
