What should I expect as my husband transitions from a US Marine to a US Soldier?

My husband recently got out of the Marines to go into the Army, and ships out for AIT next thursday. His MOS is 25B, and we have a 6 year enlistment ahead of us. How far into the schools have you personally found out your duty station? And how does your duty station get chosen in the Army? I have so many questions, and my husband does not know, and his recruiters do not seem to either. What kind of changes should I expect as a spouse? Are the rules different in the Army?What should I expect as my husband transitions from a US Marine to a US Soldier?
'; WE';? Did you enlist in the Army too?!





He will get his assignment before graduation.





he can request his assignment preference up to 3 locations, stateside or overseas, bottom line, assignments are made with the most urgent need of his MOS (IT specialist) right before graduation.


';needs of the army';





26B's in the army can be assigned anywhere! Try to get a Medical Command!





YOU will become a family member/spouse (army)





I'm sure the rules of family members are the same!What should I expect as my husband transitions from a US Marine to a US Soldier?
I've worked with some former Marines. Every one of them has hated the Army. I'm not saying your husband will hate the Army, but the odds are in favor of it.





In the Army, you tell them where you would like to get stationed, and they proceed to ignore you. The earliest he'll find out his duty station will be a couple of months before he graduates AIT. I found out my duty station as I walked across the stage on graduation day.
The marines are more stricter, so he should have a picnic in the Army. Just keep the lines of Communication open when he departs.
Why in the world did he do that??????????????

Am I responsible for taxes my husband accrued from a business gone bankrupt?

My husband and I are separated and I am filing for divorce this month. I am wondering if I am going to be sought after for taxes that he owes in excess of 60k from his business that had to go into bankrupcy. We did file jointly for 2006. Can the IRS come after me if for instance, we are divorced and I try to buy a house on my own?Am I responsible for taxes my husband accrued from a business gone bankrupt?
Was the business set up as a sole proprietorship, an LLC, a corporation, or something else? If it was a sole proprietorship, then the assets and debts of the business are part of personal assets and debts. You should see a lawyer to determine whether you are at risk and, if so, whether there is a way to reduce that risk.





If the business was an LLC or a corporation, then the assets and debts of the business are separate from personal assets and debts. You may not be personally liable. Again, check with a lawyer to be certain.Am I responsible for taxes my husband accrued from a business gone bankrupt?
You had better file as Married, Filing Seperately to put a wall between your finances and your husband's. Go to IRS.GOV and look into the forms section; there are also forms you can fill out as an ';Innocent Spouse'; if the need arises; they are form 8857 and form 12507.
You are responsible for any taxes owed for any year when you filed a joint return. It doesn't matter whether you are divorced by the time the IRS comes after you for it.
';We did file jointly';





Did you bother to read the instructions? By filing jointly you became liable for the tax bill. (If he owed any payroll taxes, that's a different issue.)





If he files for bankruptcy and you don't, the IRS can seek all of the back taxes from you.





You may or may not be eligible for ';Innocent Spouse'; but that is the avenue for getting you off the tax liability.





FWIW, the innocent spouse form is now just form 8857, the questionnaire was rolled into it.

What would you think of a husband who gives you the silent treatment and sometimes doesn't come home at all?

My husband gets mad about the littlest things and won't speak to me for days. He works night shift and sometimes he doesn't even come home after work at all and if he does he'll lock himself in the room. What would you do?What would you think of a husband who gives you the silent treatment and sometimes doesn't come home at all?
Assuming you are even close to describing how things are, I hope you'd be a good enough person to think well of him and to wish him well. But, I wouldn't recommend you live with him, unless you actually know in your heart that he truly loves you, but is just like a lot of us guys- retarded about being honest and open. But, spouses just don't get to not come home now and then. That, and locking himself in his rooms is just too odd. Sounds like a real mental problem like depression, or worse, or else drugs.What would you think of a husband who gives you the silent treatment and sometimes doesn't come home at all?
I see the problem: ';husband gets mad about the littlest things';. Have you considered the possibility that these little things might not be so little to him? Just because they are little to you does not mean their are insignificant or unimportant. Perhaps they are, in fact, little things. But so what? They still mean something to him, and that's what should matter most. Show him you care and are willing to make little things important enough to consider the same way he does. He will appreciate it and love you for it.
Mrs S...it sounds as though he may need to seek professional help...men normally don't lock themselves in rooms from the wives...I can see not speaking to you or not coming home to you but it seems there's a bigger problem that has taken place here. He works at night that means he's home during the day alone. Is he having an affair and is ashamed of telling you? Write him a note asking him to respond by the note and he doesn't have to talk to you directly but write it down and let him know that you are trying to help him because you love him and hates to see him unhappy. Don't allow your emotions to cloud what needs to be done, try and find out what's going on with him.
I would ask him to talk to you and tell you why he's acting this way (I'm assuming he hasn't always been like this). If he opens up to you, no matter what it is, keep your temper in check because he's at least telling you the truth about something. If he refuses to talk to you, then personally, I would tell him since he obviously wants his own space, he needs to move the hell out and go HAVE his own space.
I'm sorry but I wouldn't tolerate that kind of behavior. A great marriage is built on a dedication to open and honest communication. A desire to ALWAYS talk it out and find a solution everyone can be happy with. Finding a compromise. I am lucky to have found someone who believes all this as much as I do.... You need to be strong and find a way to tell him that you need better communication from him if he wants this marriage to succeed. If he doesn't respond well, you have your answer.
He's lost interest in you period, and/or has another relationship going on. Providing you with the opportunity of getting upset, so he can justify his ways. Is he into porn? Where's the computer when his door is locked? Dress up go out. or stay overnight with a girlfriend, then see what silent Sam says. Move on because he has.
';littlest things';





He is probably tired of you considering all his concerns as the ';littlest things';. My guess is that you have not been listening very well.
I guess all those night shifts are making him cranky. My dad is kinda that way. Just talk it out with him; he may not even be mad at you, it could be something else going on in his life.
Personally, He may be running around and hiding it by getting mad at you. Just a thought.
sounds as if he is up to no good. either you need to have a major talk or it is time to give up.
either tell him he needs to be honest, communicate, and work on the relationship ---- or leave!
Leave him because his actions are saying that he is up to no good.
I'd get busy learning how to relate and get what you both want.
Sounds like you married a little boy.
Sounds like it's time for a new husband!
I would suspect cheating
I would think of him as the soon-to-be ex-husband.
Buy him some Pull-Ups, powder his bottom and prepare his bottle. That's what all babies need.
Get a divorce...seriously. Who wants to live like this?
I know when I'm in a bad mood I avoid my wife.


Are you certain he is doing it on purpose?

What do you do when your husband keeps leaving you?

He will leave for a few days and then return and expect things to carry on as normal.


What should I do?What do you do when your husband keeps leaving you?
don't worry nat, he's here with me.What do you do when your husband keeps leaving you?
Here's what would happen if this was me and my husband:


The first time he left, I would only agree to him coming back after extensive couples counselling.


The second time he left, there would be no way on God's green earth he would ever come back.





The reason why your husband treats your marriage like it has a revolving door on it is because you've been letting get away with it. I would be most interested to find out what he does during those few days he's away. My advice to you is to change the locks on the doors, get yourself checked for STDs and get a good divorce attorney.
Tell him that the next time he leaves, stay gone. It's disrespectful to you. Do not tolerate this behavior. It is completely unacceptable. Another thing you can try is leaving for a few days yourself, come back and act like nothing happened. Go stay with friends or family. See how he likes it. Hold your ground girl and, when he questions where you've been, etc., give him the same song and dance he's been giving you.
You need to put an immediate stop to this. He thinks he can just get up and take off for a few days and u are waiting there like the ';good wife'; for him to return when he feels like it??? I don't think so. Even if u love him, u really need to let him know this is not working. Whether u need to get your own place for awhile or have him move out, he needs to see that this is not acceptable. As long as u are there waiting for him every time he does this, he will continue to do it. Have more respect for yourself and know u deserve better than this.
.........What do you think you should do? I really want to know how you feel about this because if I were in that situation it would only take one time for him to leave me for a few days...just one time and I'm either gone or in jail for attempting to beat the devil out of him because obviously he has lost his mind. Have you seen Waiting to Exhale? Since he can't seem to stay his *** home you put his clothes and shoes on the front lawn and strike a match. What do you think he's doing when he's gone unless it's a business trip?
Why does he leaves for days? Where does he goes? Why are you letting this things happening? Do you know the answer to all of this questions?.


If nothing is been talked, discussed, or questioned between you and him.


The answer is clear; Because you're allowing this! It's not normal.


Before this happened again, you should sit down with him and put all your cards in the table. Ask him and if there is no answer; Let him go but this time forever..who knows, where he's been or with who???


I will recommend marriage therapy





Good luck!
Just sit down and talk to him


Just have a friendly talk and don't sound too aggressive when asking him this, but just ask him why he's been doing this.





Just question all the stuff that you told us, directly confront him about the problem.





Ask him maybe if he just needs more time alone for more time than he's gone for usually.


He probably just wants some time alone.





You have to try and read the signs that are there





Sorry, my answer didn't come out the way i wanted it to sound, but i tried my best. I hope it helps, if it does, please tell me somehow.





And I've had no personal experience in this situation; i just told you what i think might be best since the other answers to this question aren't that great. No offense people.
Either start packing so you can move out the next time he takes off. Or change the locks to all the doors on the house the next time he takes off.





He's either got a drug problem, or someone else on the side that's hes cheating with. There isn't any other reason why any married person would leave like that.
I had a wife like that, So I told her if she ever did it again it was over. She never did it again. Make it real clear. It's just a control thing. They think they can get away with more if you feel they might leave. Let him know real clear, Never again. If you leave , stay gone. cause your stuff will be put in storage until after the Divorce is finnal.


Dont take crap like this from anyone lady.

Consult with a divorce attorney to plan the best possible outcome for your divorce. A ';now you see it now you don't'; marriage is no marriage at all. You deserve a full-time committed husband. File for divorce and slowly start your way towards that.
wake up he is cheating on you. if you have a home computer he uses put on spectator a spy program , or follow him .. he is a very bad man.do some leaving of your own, see how he likes it..las vegas is fun and there are lots of sexy men there to play with..be gone have fun..he is..
First time we got back together (after a separation) The second time I had all the locks changed...divorce followed....I did warn him about a second time so he couldn't say he didn't know..lol





But my case was different-he was actually walking out on the marriage.





Insist he explain himself..until he does it is NOT business as usual.
why are you asking us you need to have a very long talk yo your man because me and my soon to be wife just finished our premarital counseling and for there to be a healthy relationship there must be Communication!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1
Pack your things now and leave him. If you don't have kids then take his crap. If you have kids it's you responsibility to teach then better.
stop allowing it. If you want him, then find out why he keeps leaving. If you don't want him, then let him go and tell him to stay gone.
Turn about is fair play, leave him for a few days and have some fun hon.
Tell him to tell you where he leaves to and why. This isnt the 50s, he isnt your property. BUT he needs to communicate.
ask him where he keeps going and if he doesn't tell you, file for divorce because he is obviously screwing around
Stop being a doormat and stop taking him back. Once he's gone make sure he's gone for good.
Work on the Things that are Making him Leave.
Change the lock on the doors. sounds like he's cheating. where do you think he's sleeping?
I will not tolerate such behaviour. How dare he!!! It will be ME leaving his a$$ for good!
Change the locks, and throw one hell of a ILF party next time he goes


away......
Change the locks. Get an attorney.
HAVE SEX WITH HIM IMMEDIATELY BECAUSE HE COULD BE GONE IN AN INSTANT.





WOW! SUCH NEGATIVITY FROM ALL THESE WOMEN!!
Follow him.
You will have to start tying him up.
Change the locks then file. He can only cry wolf so many times...
obviously he's going somewhere else, so don't let it slide....
Go cry on Pimpy's shoulder.
Not be there the next time he comes back..unless he's leaving because of his job.

How can I compromise with my husband about saving electric?

My husband is hard to get along with. I am the one who takes care of all the bills in the house. He is already wanting to use heat in the house and makes it stay in the 70s. I want it to stay at 62. It is so hard to pay the bills. We are VERY behind but he doesn't care. He refuses to put on a sweater to keep warm. How can I get him to listen to me?How can I compromise with my husband about saving electric?
start doing the ';college diet';. Only have ramen noodles, hot dogs, grilled cheese, macaroni and cheese etc for dinner. when he asks why the dinners suck, tell him it is because you couldn't afford steaks and hamburger and had to cut expenses somewhere since he wouldn't be willing to compromise and turn the thermostat to 68. (62 is way too cold!!!!) Remember...you have to compromise too. Meet him in the middle.





When I first moved in with my hubby, I preferred the thermostat to be set to 70, he liked 66....so we started with 69. Once i got used to it then we moved it to 68...now we are at 67. If you slowly turn down the thermostat he won't notice hardly. How can I compromise with my husband about saving electric?
Explain that you can't meet the bills with your current income. Give him the option of helping you find ways to cut your budget or finding a second job to help you better afford everything. Personally, I'm sort of with your husband on this one. It's important to me to be comfortable in my own home. I'd rather find other places to sacrifice and have a home that I can be comfortable in. Perhaps the two of you could come to a compromise and find some other ways to save.
I'm right there with you sister! My husband resembles this comment. Mine is like he doesn't want to see the bills, tells me to just pay them, and he says its too depressing. We'll it's life (my thoughts) so deal with it (I don't say this). I have a spreadsheet that I keep in excel that has listed every bill that I use for the entire year. I mark it when its paid, how its paid and when its paid. There is one column for what it due, in bold, and totaled column. When money comes in, I show him what is due and the due dates. I want him to help me decide what to pay with the money. It helps. If you want this spreadsheet and you have excel, email me. It really does help me and maybe you'll find some use of it or edit it and make it your own.
explain to him that if he doesn't start to be more conservative the house will be a lot colder then 62 because you wont be able to pay the bill and it will get cut off. It that doesn't work just find other areas in the bills where you can make up the difference like food, don't buy name brand stuff get store brand or buy in bulk and freeze things.
Well if he is going to behave like a child then treat him like one. Do what we do - we shut off the whole thermostate at the fuse box so our kids can't even turn on A/C or heat - at night when U need hot water U can flip it back on. He's just being childish and stubborn - U pay the bills so just tell him if he can't or won't be mature minded about it U will do so on your own. Tell him this is IMPORTANT to you and to your finances and he needs to GROW THE HECK UP!
Ha! I laugh because I have the same problem. My suggestion: let your family get so far behind they shut the electricity off. Then let him do the financial bail out. Once it becomes a problem for him he might take a little more responsibility.
Don't pay the bill...when it gets shut off you can explain that you tried convincing him to COMPROMISE, and if he wants it that warm, he'll have to pay the bill!
62?? Are you serious?? What are you, Santa?





74-75 is a more than reasonable compromise. Heck, I complain when it drops below 77.
If he wants to act like a little boy treat him like one but when he wants to have something at night tell he acts to much like a little boy and refuse to let him do anything he will come along my woman usually gets what she wants LOL
Tell him it's either we turn the heat down or the TV is only on for one hour out of the night to keep the costs down.








I guarantee he'll bundle up.
Well maybe try handing him a sweater whenver he complains about the house being too cold .Or let him take care of that one bill and he will understand



Let him pay the bills. That might help him understand.
Can you two maybe meet in the middle about the temp?
62 is freezing. Can you compromise at 68?

What is the age limit between husband and wife?

I know there isn't an actual age limit but I do know that there is a point where the span between years becomes awkward. How many years apart is the limit for you?What is the age limit between husband and wife?
If both partners are over 20 years old then up to a 10 year age difference isn't uncommon and is acceptable. If under 20 I would say no more than 2 years. 18 %26amp; 20.What is the age limit between husband and wife?
i think the lady in the bible was sarah, she could not conceive and permitted her husband to have a baby with the water girl.





he was also very old.





point is, for years old men have been nailing young girls. same with old ladies. old ladies like to pump iron. where have you been?





the age difference is a personal choice.
There's no age limit as far as I'm concerned. My husband and I are exactly 18 months apart, and our marriage is GREAT. I think as long as two people are in love with each other, then age shouldn't matter because it's just a number.
Actually, love is the main factor for me, age is just a number.


as long as both parties are matured and love each other. there is no age limit.
what is the age limit to love ?


for me , over 10 years is a little weird.


but if the guy is younger than me , id say less than 5 years younger.


old fashion ? maybe.
Don't compare your life with others ! if you love the person for now then just enjoy it while it last !
