Struggling more after getting out
I've been separated for 2 years, prior Air Force. Money is tight and I've found myself reminiscing of my time in, recently my wife and I have been discussing me reenlisting if things start getting worse. My wife comes from a military family and spent the first 15 years of her life being dragged around to different bases. Then we started dating before I joined and we were long distance for my entire enlistment. So reenlisting would essentially mean the majority of her life is affiliated with the military. After getting out we've made some of our own choices on where to work and live, etc. And the freedom is nice but we're struggling to live comfortably. We want to start a family but can't afford it in our current situation. Re-enlisting would mean more sacrifice and throwing away the decisions we've made on our own at this point, but it feels like it'll be the only way out soon.
