They say, "find something you love & do it." What if what you love, takes you away from your family for days at a time? What if what you love, your spouse hates? What if what you love, is actually therapy for PTSD? I loved wife & family but I cannot picture me doing anything else. What would you do?

Compromise! You and your wife talk it out and come to a happy medium.

I love the Army and it does take me away from my family for days and weeks at a time.

It is seldom that one actually ends up doing what they love. It is even less frequent that one finds love. Spend a little more effort tending to the latter.
