If she isn't going to wait, she wasn't worth it in the first place.
If my bid to return to uniform is successful this will also be a problem I will have to deal with. I have a wife and I will have a kid early next year. She knows what this means and because of this I will probably have to choose a service other than my first choice and probably at some point an MOS that I would have never considered before to improve chances of being with family. That way I can still serve and do my part (though not the part that I neccessarily want) while attending to the needs of my family as well.
If you're in combat arms and you're complaining about balancing it with family, you're just a doofus. Don't choose combat arms as a career if you cannot put the time into it. You will be doing NO ONE a favor.
