Just wondering what your story was.....

As far as being in a similar boat? My h just recently applied for a job with the Texas border patrol--which if he gets it will be a disaster as far as MY life goes. <p>He's wanted nothing more than to be a cop all his life...he was one once but left it for various reasons and now getting back hasn't been so easy because he's made some mistakes along the way. So, at this point he's grabbing at any straws to get back into law enforcement. If he gets this job, I'll sure he'll be assigned to Sh*thole, Texas--a one room shack in the middle of nowhere right north of the Rio Grande (and no, there's not really a sh*thole, texas- although there is a sour lake and a sweetwater--it's a metaphor [img]images/icons/tongue.gif" border="0[/img] ). Grand for him, right? <p>What about me? I've been on my job for 16 years and can retire with full benefits in 8 more. My daughter's father lives here in town as well---what about their visitation? And I make great money--over $19 an hour. Which is pretty good--more than Wal-mart pays. So, what do I do? Divorce him? Try to have a long distance marriage for eight years? Like that will work. <p>It just pees me off that he made this decision without even talking to me about it. But since I really, really love him--I can't find it in my heart to tell him I don't want him to pursue his only dream/ambition. I'm just really afraid of what will happen.<p>Ugh.

When you talked to him about what he see's happening what does he say?

"We'll work it out. I'm not giving up my career."
