I believe that your spouse under the SSRA has the right to demand that jurisdiction for your divorce be determined in the following order:
1. The state in which he physically resides (not applicable as you live overseas)
2. THe state in which he is stationed (again not applicable)
3. The state that is his home of record (which will be the state he was a resident of when he signed on the dotted line).

He may not WANT to go with option 3 as it may be very inconvenient for him and you. He can agree to submit to jurisdiction elsewhere if you are a resident and want to move there for 6 months (roughly that is usually how long a person would have to live somewhere to divorce). If things are on speaking terms you might discuss it with him. Many states have a mandatory wait/separation time before you can divorce. Getting the separation might help you with that.

Forgiveness is...letting go of the hope that the past can be changed.
