Hey Matilda.

We knew each other for over a year. We did not try counseling. He dropped the bomb and deployed shortly there after. I am in individual marriage counseling now and have asked him to talk with my counselor - but am not pressuring him. He brought it up on his own yesterday and again asked why it would help.

I think the deployment did make him file before he normally might have. It seemed like an easy out. And then he wouldn't have to deal with anything when he got back.
