It's funny that he ended up keeping his end of the deal when all was said and done. And now he has his chance at a "normal" civilian life.

I hope he finds something better/different soon. It would probably bother me a lot to go back to a job from years ago too. I can't even imagine finishing my J.D. and then ending up working back in retail or at the kennel or something. The AF does provide good training, so I'm sure he's frustrated with that. Plus age gaps are never much fun. Definitely adds to the fish out of water feeling.

I think it almost might be bigger than that though. He feels like he's back where he was when you guys started dating, and he shouldn't be. I'm sure that's putting a lot of weird pressure on him. Especially since you aren't working there, you are in a better paying job and have friends and a life and a PMA.

In a weird way it almost seems fitting though. Things have come full circle and he has a second chance to make things work.
