| Hey everyone. Name's Travis. I found this site through a Google search while looking for some marriage advice. My wife and I have been married for 8 months and we are already having some problems. I'm in the Coast Guard, stationed in the Florida Keys, and this is the first time we have both lived outside of our home state of Arizona. She is having a hard time adjusting I think to the change in location. I joined the Coast Guard shortly after we got married due to a previous layoff with my old job back in Phoenix. Lately we have been fighting a lot, not just over money and the location change, but also because I have been pulling extremely long shifts with work. I can't help that. I warned her when I joined the military that this might happen. I have been encouraging her to maybe find a job if she is so bored at home, which she constantly says she is. On top of that she constantly talks about us having a baby. I just think we should maybe wait a few more months and see what happens. When I come home from work, I get so tired, that I just want to sleep. But she always wants to talk or fool around if you know what I mean. I just want to get out of my uniform and get in bed and get some rest, but it's not always that easy. I also have offered to buy her a ticket back home to Arizona for a few weeks if it makes her feel better, but she wants me to go with her, and I can't get leave just yet. I was trying to save all my leave for Christmas. All we do is fight a lot. We have tried the base chaplain and other counseling, but it's just not working out as I had planned. I don't want to lose my wife, I love her and I want our marriage to work. But I just don't know what else to do at this point. I feel like it's a never ending struggle that I'm losing here. Sorry if this is a long drawn out thing. Just figured it was worth a shot to try something different. | |||
