My Husband Is An Ex MARINE And Still Acts It

Counseling probably won't help. Sorry.

It may be much too late.

In fact, he's getting worse! I am the enemy and he is still doing his job.
He's a good provider, let me rephrase it. He is a good provider. (period)

If i make any noise around him he goes into combat.
totally screwy.
I do not allow myself to be broken down. Ever.
If he's a Sargeant, i'm his superior.
I have kids and i have held on for them for so long. They're married, and i still hold on because i cant leave "mean daddy"...Its not in my to leave. I WILL FIGHT THE BATTLE AND WIN, even if it kills me!

guess you have the prolapsed rectum too

You may. Thanks for contributing.

Best of luck OP. Hopefully, he'll get some help through the V.A.

He probably saw shit that would make us puke in our mouths. Some nasty fucking shit went on there and when you see it up close and personal like buddies being blown to bits and getting the bits on ya...it does something to the old computer room between the ears.

Good luck OP. You sound like you have stuck through a lot. He would probably be a goner if you weren't there for him!

Thank you. It is my last hope. I love him and i know he loves me, but the drilling has to stop.
Good lord in heaven, you know what he wants me to cook for him?
Something called SHIT ON A SHINGLE, his Vietnam mess hall favorite. Is that insane?
He is living at war in the jungle as i type.

You can take the man out of the corp but you can't take the corp out of the man. My ex-husband was in nam and he quit growing emotionally and has remained a virtual 20 year old. I'm sorry that you don't have the will to leave, I did and now I have a perfectly wonderful life, one that I would have never known, if I had stayed with my ex-marine.

Respect to veterans...PTSD is a bitch...I know...

Another thing? He says if it wasnt for his breathing problems, he'd go re-enlist.
Masochist?

how old is he?

shit on a shingle is good

shrink? prolly won't be able to own/buy guns

What's wrong with SOS? And keep in mind any mental evals by the VA WILL result in the loss of your second amendment rights.

Oh God bless you! You do know what i'm going through. Just what you said, a 20 year old mind trapped in a 50+ body.
I'm so happy for you, i've just never been able to take the plunge for one reason or another, and now...its just too late! I come from an old Catholic background mixed with Spanish roots, and driven by the matriarch of the family, who is in denial. My mother.

My step dad was in the Army for 32 years. 82 Airborne Ranger with 3 tours in Viet Nam with MacV.

I do not, repeat do not, fuck with this man.



Awesome dad though.

P.S. I didn't know there was such a thing as an EX-Marine?

That's a shame!

Every human is much more than a simply association with a group!

No matter the indoctrination.

You dont have to get so hostile...

Alright, so he IS a freaking Marine. Happy? You make my husband sound like a loving butterfly.

For you WE...

Read and learn!

You wouldn't and that is clear!

Hence the post...

My grandparents have a neighbor who fought in Vietnam. Good guy. Only that during the fourth of July he would totally freak from the fireworks.

Does that mean you are back where you belong? :-)

Sweetheart, he didnt go in this way. I couldnt have found a more loving and kinder person. HE LOST HIS MIND IN THE SERVICE, poopsie.
I will give you, they should screen our boys before they send them to fight, but that aint gonna happen, is it, big boy?!

It is extremely difficult to break the mental association for many.

A shame for sure, honor and respect for all!

I never said I was one. I agree with what you said. You just dont have to say someone is full of shit to get your point across...

I may be mistaken, but are you an asshole?

Oh noes you didn't...

Let's get of Mom's cause I just got off yours!

Ugh oh...
