That is strength if I have ever seen it. It takes a person. That has detached and has respect for themselves to make those comments. He definitely saw your strength and he saw you wouldnt be taken his sh!t no more. IMO that was a mini wake up call. Great job. Out of respect love is born.
I honestly don't think that he respects anyone anymore. His sister wants to come down and see him next weekend. She's scared that he'll get hurt on the deployment and she wants pictures with him. Now, she is an extremely silly woman and they have nothing in common. That said, this impulse of hers is coming from a good place, and he should honor it. Instead, his plan was to let her come and then tell her (from the safety of a base gate she can't get through) that he's too busy to see her. I told him that this is unacceptable. He promised to call his mom today and ask her to tell his sister not to come cause he's busy. I guarantee you that he will not do it.
So yeah... what respect? I honestly don't think he respects himself. But I need to respect myself, and if I don't check him, I will be reduced to a doormat.

Keep up the hard work.
He would be a fool to walk away from a woman thats doing all these things for him. I'm in althe Army and one thing a soldier appreciate is a loyal, faithful spouse.
Thanks, I appreciate hearing this, I really do. I doubt that any of it got through. If it did, it won't last long. Maybe next time I'll remind him about who mopped up his vomit when he was sick, held him when he cried, and crisscrossed the country to make sure that he had his gear while he was away at training.
