I Survived Afghanistan, But Almost Got K*lled in California Over $3k | Ep. 300
"I had an affair in Thailand that ended my marriage. We did a J set with the Thai Navy Seals and I was in Thailand for a few weeks. If you love your wife, stick with her and, you know, be honorable. And I wasn't. It was kind of me like self-sabotaging the marriage."
Yiannis openly admits to having an affair during a joint training exercise with Thai Navy SEALs, which he identifies as deliberate self-sabotage of his marriage to his first wife Rebecca, who had supported him since before BUD/S. He describes struggling with war trauma, a new baby, and not processing his Afghanistan deployment well. Despite his wife wanting to reconcile, he pursued divorce, which he now identifies as his biggest regret before their eventual remarriage years later.
