Re: Tyler Ziegel Iraq War Survivor
I understand why she left. I honestly don't think I could have married him in the first place. Might sound shallow, but I don't think I could wake up to seeing him every day. It would remind me of how he once was and the life we could have had. I found this article below: She stuck by him as he underwent more than 50 operations and could hardly wait for him to recover enough to get married. The great day happened on October 6, 2006. The public was stunned. The governor of Illinois proclaimed the day a state holiday and the media covered the event, writing: “Love conquers all!”. It does in fairy tales, but not quite in the lives of young people. Renee realised she has many years ahead of her and Tyler will never be the same again. Apart from his appearance, his behaviour was a problem also. Ty suffers from a severe type of PTSD, often having mood-swings. He was not fully capable of having sex either, because too much excitement would knock him unconscious. Renee could not fight it, she realised they could go through everything as friends. Therefore, she just left in January this year. Tyler assumes she is with another man, but he does not mind because she is still with him. He believes their relationship is now much deeper and closer, without the pressure of the public, marriage and everything around them. The young man does not regret what happened to him because he is a burning patriot and Republican. He knew he wanted to go to war right after September 11, 2001. His three years younger brother Zach followed in his footsteps. He does not regret his love because he is aware she has had a tough time and he will eternally be grateful to her because she stuck by him during the hardest moments of his life. Ty has come to terms with what has happened, he does not look back, but forward. He even had a tattoo done, reading: “Yesterday is history. Tomorrow is a mystery. Today is a gift!”. This is his motto. He gets out as much as he can, he hangs out with the same friends. Deep down, he is the same person. |

Re: Tyler Ziegel Iraq War Survivor
You have to married 10 years before divorcing to see any benefits, so she didn't marry him for that reason.

Re: Tyler Ziegel Iraq War Survivor
I see what you're saying and sure that happens all the time, but I don't believe thats the reason in this case. I think it was out of Pity, and she didn't want to make herself seem shallow for leaving him, and of course didn't factor in his mental stability. if she wanted benefits out of him she would have stayed longer.

Re: Tyler Ziegel Iraq War Survivor
I know very well what goes on including all about divorce in the military and money being taken from soldiers that are deployed. My point is I really do not think that was the reason for the divorce. Let's face it, this guy has a lot of issues, we really do not know what went on in this relationship. I have seen a guy freak out in the middle of Walmart because of PTSD. I have seen guys start fights. People don't understand what it's like unless you have been there. She stayed a lot longer than many spouses have in the past and will in the future. This war is affecting us as well as the service member, but if you are not privy to the situation first hand, then you really do not understand what it is like and she coped as long as she could. To be honest I don't know if I could do the same if I were in her situation.
