Ok, first things first. I am in love with my husband, always have and always will be. In every way, I feel right with the world and complete. So this is very hard to discuss, and I'm still debating whether to even attempt to wrap my head around this.
Histroy: We got married young and fast, had a baby girl a year later and then another year later he's off depolyed with ANG. I'm currently 9 months pregnant with another beautiful girl, and I miss him so much. (He'll be home in 7 months) Things haven't been easy for us the past year and a half. But we did our best and went to marriage counseling at our local church. We both knew by then that rushing into marriage and parenthood was not the wisest decision on our part, but no use in shoulda/woulda/coulda. We wanted both our girls, they were planned with love.
He's been gone since June, but I was supposed to visite him in August (last month of training before deployment). Things were fine between us or so I thought. A month before my visite I don't hear a word from him. Then literally days before I fly out he emails me that he doesn't think I should come and he's filed for divorce. Not just that, but he's been miserable for the past 6-7 months. (mind you, during that said time he and I both decided to get pregnant again!) He was actually happy about all this and I guess he just assumed I'd be too? Omg! It sent me into the hospital with high blood pressure and contractions! I was inconsulable.
So, I did go anyway with our daughter and tried to figure out what the hell was going on. After some talking, he said that I was supposed to be on the pill and that this new baby was my fault, on top of how he wants to find himself. He felt conflicted, who he is with me and our family and who he is with his new found friends in the military/life style. He was no longer in love with me and that he only wants to see his girls on holidays at most. Sure enough, I am devastated and say go if you want but I don't want this, I love you. Finally he says, OK me neither.
Fast forward to now, I asked him recently when he came home for his 2 week R&R if things were still the same. Nope. He actually begged me to let him go... again. He's only sticking around this long because he knows leaving will disappoint both our families. I asked why leave, he said he still feels that being who he is now versus's who he is once he's home cannot be one in the same. (Going out, partying, vs. staying home with me and the girls) I told him that if there's still a small part of him that loves me, we can and should build on that and that he can still be independent while being married with children. Why throw all of this away because you believe that abandoning us will make you happy? (Personally, I think he feels that the grass is greener on the other side. Once he realise's it isn't it'll be too late, and I don't want that kind of mistake happening for our sake and for the sake of our children.)
A part of me is exhausted with my emotions constantly being yo-yoed. One second I love you, next I don't want you or the girls. Now it's just "lemme go live my life". You don't know what you've got until it's gone... I'm not sure what to do. I'm due Dec. 19th, and I don't feel that any drastic decisions need to be made until he's returned from active duty for good. I wish he'd give me a better excuse. Maybe he'll realise that what he's doing now is only temporary. Unless of course my worst fear is that he's fallen for someone else, it would make sense then. (I'll explain later)
Sorry for such a long post.
