Wife Ultimatum
The choice of trying out for SF as an 18X was not an impulse decision. This is something Ive carefully thought about for a few years. Once I knew what I needed to do, I started training and taking care of my finances to accommodate for military pay as opposed to my civilian job. My wife (really GF but in Texas is common law wife since we've been together for 11yrs) seemed on the fence at first then reluctantly agreed with my decision and why I made it. Now however, she has completely changed her mind and is now telling me she will pack up her things and take my son and unborn daughter away if I continue down this path. I have made sure to do most of my training when my family is asleep and rarely talk about it as Im not a fan about talking things up until it is actually set in stone (or contract signed). I know the move she has made is kinda selfish but she thinks it is justified because 'Im making a conscious choice to leave my family'.
Just wondering if anyone else has encountered this and what they ultimately did. I know in the scheme of things this choice is not a selfish decision and my kids will understand why. Her behavior has put a speed bump in my training and was just curious if anyone had any feedback.
This is something I have been needing to do for quite some time and with everything that is going on now, it has only cemented my decision to try out as an 18X.
