Difficult Situation..Please Help!

I am a 23 year old Army wife, so already you can probably tell I am in a difficult situation.  First of all, my husband and I don't have any kids together.  Anyways,  my husband is currently in Iraq on his second deployment and everything was fine up until about 4 days or so ago.  He would ignore my emails or IM's and then last night he told me that I better find a job or else he is leaving me.  He has his R&R in July and that gives me about a month and a half or so, but the thing is, is that I have been trying extremely hard to find a job, but I am in Michigan right now staying with family until he gets back from this deployment and in Michigan jobs are extremely limited and are hard to find, but I am trying.  Not only that, my husband told me that he needs to see proof that I have a job so he wants me to show him my paycheck stubs each time I get paid.  Then I find out that I can't get into our bank account online, he changed the password and everything on me, but I still can go to the bank and take money out and get statements on the latest activity.  I played dumb and said "I can't get into the account I don't know what is going on" and I asked him if he knew anything about it and he denied it, then I told him that there was a new security question on there and that's when he admitted to locking me out of the account.  Why he did, I have no clue because I can still go to the bank and take money out. Another thing....is that my husband just opened up another bank account online in only his name and he is taking money out of our joint account and transfering it into this new account of his, he did tell me about this and he said that once he transfers money into his new account that he will unlock our joint account.  I also found out, on my own, he did not tell me so he doesn't know...but he opened up some kind of stock thing or something, and I know he is going to put some money in there.  I am extremely confused as to what is going on, and I am looking at it as if he wants a divorce, because a year ago he told me he wanted a divorce just out of the blue and everything was almost final all I had to do was sign the papers.  Then he called me one day saying that he had made a big mistake and wanted me to come back, and I guess I was stupid and went back, so now I am going through this all over again and I don't even know why, because we haven't gotten into any disagreements or argurements in a long time.  He even knows how much money I am entitled to as his spouse and in order to find that out I know he went to JAG.  I am so confused in this situation and I don't know what to do...he is threatening me...either I get a job or we are getting a divorce, and that does not sound normal to me....If anyone has any advice at all, I would really appreciate it!!!

Good News:  You are young and you don't have children with this man.
Bad News:  I believe he has fallen in love with someone else.  I think he expects that when you find out, you may be angry and may want to get the money from the accounts.  He may be encouraging you to get a job so you can take care of yourself when you are divorced.

I ran out of space but wanted to add this-

It's really hard to acknowledge the signs when you see them because it hurts so much but please try to do what you can to protect yourself.  When dealing with someone that is flighty -"Hope for the best but prepare for the worst".  Don't let yourself get burned.

I am gald you are staying with your family, they can be a great support to you during this time.  Do they know about what's going on?  And if they do, how do they feel about it?  

I married my unhusband at a young age too (I was 18, I am now 31) and I don't live too many states away (MN).  If you ever need to talk feel free to email me thru this site. 

I wish you the best, I hope everything works out!

I am an Army wife too (although for not very long). We are currently in the process of getting divorced. Our marriage has never been great, he's been selfish and abusive and has major lying and manipulation patterns that would just make my head spin. He would leave me once every 3 or 4 years, say he didn't love me but always change his mind and come back to me. He'd apologize, say he was stupid, he'll go to counseling, whatever. I always took him back every time. I really regret taking him back the last time. About two years ago we split (same story) and when he came back I took him back again. Big mistake. During that time he had an affair with someone else. When I took him back I suspected something but he always denied it. He could look me straight in the eye and tell me he loved me and there was never anyone else. He would even do that with tears in his eyes! Well, his unit is mobilizing for Iraq this summer and I guess that finally made him get a conscience. He decided to tell the truth with war, and possibly death, staring him in the face. He told me he cheated on me and has been lying about it these two years. Oh, and he want a divorce. What a shocker coming from someone who just spent the last two years trying to convince me he was totally in love and totally faithful and committed to this relationship. The reason I am telling you all this is because as I read your entry I see all of the warning signs. As heartbreaking as it is, I do believe he is planning on divorcing you and I think you should take precautions. I think you should get an attorney and get some legal advice. When someone has decided they want a divorce you have to remember that it is all business from here on in. A good friend of mine was given that advice but discounted it. She was still thinking about the relationship emotionally and when someone told her to keep track of all the things he did she just shrugged it off. Until one day she found out he was taping their phone conversations and was planning on using that against her in court.
