My wife wants to join the Peace Corps

She would be away for two years -- twice as long as we've been married!

    I can tell Cary didn't come from a military family.

    There are many reasons why people choose to be away from their marriages. It's funny which of those we decide to support.

    LW's wife is going to resent the hell out of him some day if she gives in to his demands. He's asking her to give up her dream because he likes his job and has decided to dig in his heels. Unlike Cary, I think LW's asking way too much. Jobs are disposable, dreams are not.

    I'm a senior woman and there are things I wish I had done when I was younger, even though I'm still able to do some of them now.

    I hope LW's wife follows her bliss. It will be his loss if he chooses not to go with her.
