Special Forces spouses
Anybody in here a SF spouse? Just want to talk to someone who knows the life. I’m like in a state of shock. My husband and I got into a huge fight today and he told me he’s going to try to get into special forces so he’s gone half the year to get away from me and the kids because “he can’t handle little kids.” I’m feeling all the feels right now and don’t know what to expect. Are they really gone half the year every year? I’d leave his ass but I’m trying to wrap up school right now before I do anything drastic. Given what he’s doing I feel is drastic.

@Susie I’m thinking about leaving but kind of stuck till I finish school. I just don’t know what to do. He won’t do counseling because he doesn’t want to look bad before the board.
If he cares more how he looks then that tells you his priorities. Idk which branch you're in but in the Marine Corps there's the MFLC and they're there for family counseling for...well, family counseling, it's there for a reason
First, he'd need to pass selection. Then it depends on his MOS. If he's saying these things it would be interesting if he passed the psych eval portion of selection. I highly recommend finding a marriage counselor, every base should have that service.

"He can't handle little kids"? Should've thought about that before having kids then. Honestly leave his ass, that's such a shameful attitude. I get wanting to be special forces but just to be away from you guys is crazy. My husband just signed up as combat instructor and is so stressed that he's gonna be gone for most of the next 3 years!
