Happened to my friend. He left the Army after a good number of years service and went into truck driving which was paying really well because of a shortage of drivers so he could easily do the one income household while his wife stayed at home, raised the child and lived the pampered life of a housewife while he grafted long hours on the road to earn the money she spent.

And that's the thing. It's well paid but it is also long hours and days away from home and she repaid his hard work and income that was going to her by cheating on his neighbour. Worse still, she initiated the divorce and he got hit hard in the settlement to the point me, his other friends and his family had to pick up the pieces.
