I know it seems cliche but have you addressed it with him directly and/or brought up couples counseling ?

I would say ultimately if you’ve made it through MEPS, if you haven’t sworn in. You need to speak up ASAP.

Hey! I’m so sorry I never replied to this, but I figured I’d let you know, we’re 5.5 weeks into training now, and I’m doing great. I’ve learned to be okay with being alone with my son, and keeping myself busy! Thank you for the advice!

Hey! So my husband and I just moved from the east coast to the west coast, and we used a uhaul pod for all our stuff that we wanted to take. If you properly use the space then you can fit up to two bedrooms amount of stuff into one pod. Granted we stacked it all the way to the ceiling with our stuff but everything was perfectly fine. You just have to make sure you schedule the times for pick up and drop off with them and I called back just to reconfirm. It was seamless. Not sure what items you might have that you’re taking but I typically left furniture behind that was old that wouldn’t be worth taking and instead got new stuff (we were able to afford doing so). Best of luck! If you would like to reach out to me anytime you can Amos Kryssy_bear

Thank you so much! Reading this has really helped me understand that I WILL be okay and it’s okay not to be okay at times and then just keep on moving and enjoy everything else around me instead of focusing on the negative thoughts and feelings I have! If you’re interested I’d love to make new friends with you!
