Being mbr married to another mbr in the military is not for the weak. Someone is going to have to sacrifice a goal, a dream, an achievement so their significant other can accomplish theirs. Damn why cant I just win the lottery or get to 20 years so we don’t have to keep making sacrifices. I commend stay at home parents. I’m complaining about moving up to a better position and y’all can’t even start, keep, or have a decent career. Being an adult sucks. I’m ready to have my adult diapers.

It's a testament as to how deeply you care for your wife and the well-being of your family. Love entails sacrifice and sometimes life is unfair to the point that one of you has to compromise for the other. Hope you find a balance

I know, it does suck. One can't readily give up though because of responsibilities. Sometimes we have to just suck it up even if it hurts, and even if we deserve better from life. Hope this helps, wishing you the best.

I know what you mean. Stay at home parents can only succeed if their partner is also understanding while the latter provides for their family. Hope it gets better for you both.

I think this is now our reality. Sacrifices for our family and sacrifices for our career. Let's all hang in there, OP!

It really does. I guess we don't have a choice. I wish you all the best, OP!

TLDR: Getting over your ex of 2.5 years ghosting you after they said they wanted to reconnect.

I was dating someone for about 2.5 years and then we broke up because of COVID and the long distance was making it too difficult to continue. The break up must’ve been like a 4-5 minute FaceTime because I was very distraught. After we broke up, she started seeing someone else but I was heartbroken and it’s taken me over a year to really get over everything and process those feelings. (Cont.)

I want to cuss her out and tell her about herself (relevant to the argument). Help
