Can the Chaplain's Office Help?
My husband and I are having marital problems. He is addicted to some crazy things and has been unfaithful. I have not heard from him in 2 days and am sick with worry...haven't slept or ate in 3 days.... He lied about who his chain of command is and no one there will give me answers. Can the Chaplain's office help? What do I tell them so my husband's career is not affected? He needs help and I am so scared and worried for him right now.

Good question. Being retired military myself, I would probably not go to the Chaplain, because their answers are going to be tied down with their particular dogma and religious beliefs. Depending on where you are stationed, you might want to try some life coaches, or even AA, or like that. Work on yourself, as you might not have any control over him. You are the person you should take care of (am looking over this, and am not criticizing you, just suggesting that you take care of yourself, you are the most important one in the relationship)

Yes the Chaplains office should be able to help, and it should not get back to his chain of command and effect his career. I am retired military myself so I have been there. Good luck.

Me being a military wife I feel what your going through and its hard and YES the chaplain should and will help you get down to business there are ways in fionding out who your husband command is and they can tell you if he is U A or not is he isnt catch his butt while he is at work. On base there is also a military operater that u can call just give them ur hubby name and she will give u the phone number. GOOD LUCK

I am ex-Army, and yes, the Chaplain's Office should be able to help you. Often they are bound by the rules of confidentiality that affect all ministers, so I don't think you can get your husband in trouble directly by contacting them. In any case, tell the truth; for him to get help for his addictions and to find safety are more important than his Army career anyway.

That is a tough one, do you have one of his rosters laying around so that you can get in contact with his leader. You can go to the chaplain, however it may still effect his career, but you have to look out for you, being married to a soldier isnt easy because what ever effects him, its going to effect you too.
