When Soldier Returns Home to Meet His Wife, He Couldn’t Believe What He Saw
John’s loyalty to his country was commendable; after 10 years of service in the US army, his passion didn’t change. His devotion and dedication to his country and service to the US Army earned him a promotion, giving him a break from work and a chance for family time.
He couldn’t wait to share the news with his wife after being away from home throughout the summer. The promotion finally felt like a good opportunity to make it up to his wife. The fear in Jessica’s voice was surprising when John finally told her the news. Wasn’t she excited to see him again?
It Was His Passion
George Patton was his role model growing up, and his aspiration to be a soldier didn’t cease. His love for his job would make him sacrifice anything.
As proud as his wife was of him for being the best at what he does, she still sometimes complains about some ick in the relationship, but she would prefer to meet him halfway. Yes, she was an understanding wife and mother. But little did he know that his marriage was eating her up inside out.
She Was The One For Him
John and Jessica’s love story is interesting; it was love at first sight. Back then, in college, they connected so quickly when they first saw each other. John couldn’t wait for her to be his until he courageously asked her to be his date at prom.
And ever since, their love has been so sweet and rosy. Her support for him didn’t stop, even though sometimes it seemed inconvenient, knowing the difficulties of being a military wife. She still never sees herself as supportive.
The Plans
Not long enough after the arrival of John, they both agreed to make his break worthwhile. They had plans, and he wanted another baby, which was exciting for Jessica. But a few minutes after the conversation, he suddenly realized Jessica was lost in her thoughts.
He thought she was maybe tired and overwhelmed by what was discussed. His curiosity made him think they both needed a small break to spend time as a couple, and it seemed like an opportunity to make her happy.
She Felt Lonely
When Jessica realized she would be alone during her pregnancy, she buried herself in her thoughts for a while.
Despite her best efforts to persuade herself that she needed to show more compassion because of the nature of his job, and despite having her friends and parents visit occasionally to keep her company while she was gone, she was still not having any of that. Her limit had already been crossed.
This would have been a sensitive conversation with her husband, but she was alone in her head.
