AHH! I dont know what to do! My heart is torn in 2 right now. My husband just told me like 5 min. after new year mark that he is going to join the army! I want him to follow his dreams and I know this is what he wants but I'm so scared! We've already lost quite a few friends in the military and I can't stand the thought of losing him. Our daughter isn't even 1 yet... I want to be supportive of him, but I'm so scared at the same time... am I being to selfish for wanting him home with us rather than following his dream?? Please help I feel going to go crazy!

littlemomma agony auntthanks guys. I have talked with him and he's been playing with the idea since I met him. I know he really wants to do this...I'm just scared. We've already lost several good friends...and I cant bear to think of loosing him.

I told him exactly how I felt but that if this IS what he TRULY wants that I'd support him 'cause I want him to fallow his dreams and goals....I just feel like I"m being a bit selfish.

He's always stood by me with my dreams and goals (even though most dont work out) and I feel really bad about wanting him home instead of off somewhere that i cant fallow....

Thanks for the help though! Really appreciate it!

hello,

i dont think you are being selfish hun,

you need to sit down and have a chat with him,

you need to tell him that yous have a small daughter

together and you dont want him to risk his life and miss time with his daughter, if its what he really wants he'll put his family before his dream,

goodluck
