He hasn't been in the military long enough to be deployed - and he's never been gone for more than three weeks at a time.

I know the stress of having to keep up a PT standard has really gotten to him, on top of a 60-70 hour work week for the past three months. That's how everything ended up crashing. He is deciding not to reenlist because everything is such a mess with our marriage right now - that if he was 100% done he'd just go ahead and reenlist and deploy with his unit next summer.

He is leaving next week for three weeks. Since I won't have to worry about him needing to come over or visit with DD, I'm wondering if I should go dark for the most part over that time. I don't know if that will affect things for the better or worse. I guess it depends on if we go to MC again between now and then (I have an appointment set up but he doesn't know if he will go or not)
