So my wife gets back from scenic downtown Bagram sometime this month. The details I can't post, but she gets home sometime in March.
We're not divorced yet. I have asked to hold off on that until we can see one another face to face. She, for some reason, agreed.
Here's the rub, I love my wife very, very much, and for all of the problems we have, I can't see a life without her and I cannot envision being with anyone else. It just doesn't appeal to me.
I am debating mounting up some time this month, driving or riding the motorcycle up from Reno to the Island, and meeting her when she gets off the plane, flowers and heart in hand. I love this woman, and I need to show her that I have changed.
I've been sober for 103 days now, I haven't punched anyone out in the same amount of time, I am still seeing my shrink and I have dropped some 40lbs in that amount of time. I know I have a lot more to go to show that I am the man for her, but I love this woman with all that I am, and I need to save this marriage.
So from those of you who have gone right to the brink of divorce, but somehow pulled a rabbit out of your ass, any advice for your old friend Dirt?
She's agreed to come down to Reno to sign the papers, and to spend our last day as a couple together as a family with me and our dogs. I still want to be there when she gets off of the plane, we started this deployment with me dropping her off, I want to finish it that way. Do you think this too bold and assertive?
Anything helps, even the smart ass comments. Thanks in advance.
