Don’t know whether to start a fence/deck company or get into something else.

Im wanting to leave my job to start my own business. Ive had this “business” idea in my head for months whether it should be building fences, get into general contracting, building decks/porches really just something. And fence/deck building has been in my mind. Now I am a military veteran and I live in a small town in southeast Georgia near Brunswick. I got some injuries while in the service like back and neck problems as well as shoulder problems. What I’m trying to ask is if this is a good move? Like is there any regrets of starting one? Is there really money in this line of work? And is it physically laborious on the body? Any advice or tips??

I may be getting cheated on.

So my wife 26years old, together for 9 years total has been acting a little weird not sure if it’s been going on for a while or just started but I found some messages between her and a guy. Flirty but not too flirty but felt like there are some deleted messages. Anyway he’s trying to get her to sneak out the house to go to his county which is like 45 min away or that he’ll come this way. Well she told him that she can’t bc she has a lot of homework and she is studying for an exam. But she also said that if she didn’t have so much homework to do that she would have went. Now the only reason I found these messages was bc she has her iPad and I use her iPad to do my college work so I didn’t go snooping around bc I trusted her but I went snooping and I couldn’t really find anything. What should I do? Should I let it play out? Or confront her about it??

Edit: we’ve had our fair share of fuck ups but she has the worst one she cheated on me when we first got married. She cheated on me with a girl who were friends at the time. They went out to go drinking and they had a hotel room together well they go back to the room and have sex and that is all I know and idk why but at the time I didn’t care bc it was with a girl but looking at it now cheating it still cheating…. drunk or not. I’ve never physically cheated, maybe sent a text here and there but that’s it never actually went as far as having sex with anyone. Last time I got caught texting a female friend that she didn’t like was 3 years ago after that I never texted a female again.

Need some words of encouragement/advice for my wife that is on year 2 of DH school.

So she has told me that she has wanted to become a hygienist ever since we have been together since end of 2017. And she’s put school off for majority of the time we have been together well fast forward to 2024 she decides to start doing her prereqs to get into the program and she got it on her first try. She was very excited to have gotten accepted into the program. And the whole first year was a roller coaster of emotions and getting a groove of the material semester by semester. She’s had second thoughts of continuing in the program since the start of this semester. Where she has patient care, and she failed her first three assessments 2 for simple mistakes and the third for a new instructor saying she didn’t know her sequence of care. Any advice on what she could do to get better at the assessment part/removing calculus, really just having a better flow? I don’t want her thinking this way, and the only reason I think she is thinking this way is because she feels defeated and is exhausted of all the homework/exams that she has to do.

Little back story, I was in the military and sustained a couple of injuries that made me make a decision of not renewing my contract. Couple years later those said injuries got worse and have been told that I have Degenerative Disc Disease from C4-C5, bone spurs in C2 & C4-C5, possible pinched nerve/herniated disc at L2-L3 etc etc. there are more injuries but the list goes on unfortunately. I was just wanting to know if this career is a good fit for me. I found an interest in it and want to pursue but I’m just scared that I could further worsen an injury. Maybe I’m just in my head but I just want clarity before I get my hopes up. Thanks!!
