My wife wants to join the Peace Corps

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

    Just some insight...

    I'm not happy in my marriage and when I read your letter, joining the Peace Corps sounded like a great idea to me. I'd get to be away for 2 years which gives me plenty of time to think about whether I want to come back to my spouse or not. It also gets me away from having to make the decision to divorce. And yes, I know this is not the best idea, but that's where I am.

    Do fight for your marriage, though. If I were your wife, it would make a difference to me to hear that my being away would make that much of a difference to you. I hope everything works out for your best.
