It's been 10 days since he got back from Iraq and he announced to me that after 15 years together and three children, he's leaving me for a 20 year old Turkish art student he met on the internet. I've been waiting for three years for him to get home so we could rebuild our relationship that has been battered by 12 years in the military followed by three years as a contractor repairing ITAS systems for the military in Iraq. I thought finally, we could set aside all the hurt, pain and distance to finally heal.
I know this is a very short diary but Daily Kos has been one of the few things that has helped me maintain my sanity these past three years waiting for him to return and right now I feel more lost and alone than I ever have when he was gone.
I was fortunate enough to get him to go to counseling yesterday and the wonderful woman that had the balls to undertake this trainwreck of a marriage told us that she is putting in 12 hours a day, damned near seven days a week with the overload from near by Fort Lewis. Business is booming for marriage counselers.
If there are any Kossacks with advice for me on how to win him back please let me know.
