My husband of 2 years wants to move back home to Texas halfway across the country. We originally met while he was in the army and we got married after a few months of dating. He got out last year and his idea was to move back with his family in Texas and start school. We've been living apart for a few months while I finish school here.
Here's the problem.
>I'm working, my job is okay and with that and school I get by
>Got a job offer recently for when I graduate for a company I really like here
>Husband is in community college and is hoping to transfer to UT.
>Got fired from his job, can't really hold one.
>The GI bill will pay for some of our living but I can't be the only one working because he's not able to hold a job.
>he says he doesn't plan on moving back from Texas; when we made this plan at first it was only supposed to be until he graduates.
tl;dr Husband and I are living apart. I really don't want to move to there and he doesn't want to move here.
I'd say ask your husband to reconsider his plan. Like, other than family, what commitment does have to Texas? It seems like you'd be better off where you're at.
If that doesn't work. Divorce him, or fake a pregnancy. Up to you
Any dude who gets married in the military deserves to be left. He should know better.
Besides, doesn't seem like either of you are mature enough to be married.
Make better choices in the future OP.

He's always wanted to go to UT, like it's his dream.
I've asked him, he seems pretty set on it. I really do love him, I don't want a divorce.

I'd advise getting your family in on this ordeal if his is a draw for him, assuming you have one to call on. What are your other sources of social support? Ideally if they are people he might take advice from seriously as well an agreement could be made. If both of you and your marriage can handle it, staying apart could work until he proves his resolve by actually getting into UT. Most people don't have the commitment nor resolve/desire to do that but I wouldn't take it off the table immediately.
The easier road is usually the worst road.
There is so little information to go on though that a more suitable place for this would be some type of couples counseling, not that it is a silver bullet or anything.
