The fact of the matter is that I spent two years supporting her while she decided if she wanted to go to Law School, be a paralegal, work at Nordstroms, work at Verizon, or whatever else. I supported her. Even when I was making the majority of the income and she was studying for the LSAT. I never questioned her. Came back from Afghanistan with almost 8K in savings (of which she contributed not ONE penny) and having decided to leave the Army now was my time to decide how I was going to transition back into civilian life.
The truth is I worked for Best Buy before, loved it. I love retail, I love helping customers, I love technology. All of those romantic gifts and surprises and trips she loved so much years beforehand. Best buy checks paid for that. I was making more than $12.50 before all of this, supporting myself, paying all of my bills, etc. BEFOREHAND as an unmarried man. She knew all of this. So for her to at ANY point question my commitment to being successful in wanting to return as a grown ass MARRIED man was the absolute pinnacle of disrespect. I don't give a fukk what your misgivings are, you do not look your husband, the husband who has supported you emotionally and financially since even before we were married, in eye and suggest sarcastically that he will enter middle age as a failure.
It will not be tolerated.
Call me whatever you like Brehs or think what you are entitled to think. But my personal code of living is that to be married to somebody who has that little faith in you after your entire life has been spent proving to the contrary is simply unacceptable.
I see what you are saying. It was not about working at Best Buy. When you came to a decision about what you wanted to do after coming out the army and presented her with that fact, she should have been more supportive. If she was a little shaky about your decision she should have addressed it better and asked what was your full game plan.
