[QUOTE="John6185, post: 4105753, member: 25679"] I read several decades ago that within years of military retirement, a divorce is common. I too, retired from the AF in '85 and within five years...bingo! A divorce. I don't believe in divorces sicne I came from a home with multiple divorces on my mom's part but it was the best thing that could have happened. I kept my retirement, got a better wife and have money in the bank. The one that left liked to spend money and if there was any in savings it was soon gone. I remember I went ot Vietnam and lived on $30 per month and sent all the money home. I arrived at my next duty station and started receiving phone calls but wasn't present to accept them. Finally I was t work when I ansqwered the phone. She acquired a loan from Dial Finance and thought she'd paid it off but I had to do the payoff. She was living on more money than if I were in the home. Family separation pay, combat pay, overseas pay. She must have had a good time and I won;'t say anything bad about her at this time since she is the mother of my children. She's gone...GOOD! [/QUOTE]
