Cheating on a Soldier

Cheating is wrong. It doesn’t matter how you look at it. Cheating on a Soldier while they are overseas adds a whole new element to this dishonest action. I want to know exactly what a person is thinking when they cheat on someone who is risking their lives for their freedom.

I am an Army Wife who has proudly survived one deployment and will unfortunately be facing another in the near future. I got lonely and I went through bouts of depression, but I never found a reason “good enough” to cheat on my husband. He was willing to die for our country and no matter how lonely or depressed I got it could never measure up to what he was going through. So I want to know how these wives and husbands can do it. Do they not have a heart? Is sex so important to them that they don’t care who they hurt?

Now let me turn it around. What if the Soldier cheats while they are overseas? This is always a possibility and is still just as wrong. The spouses, just as the Soldier, are on a mission. Every day is a struggle to stay strong. It’s not easy having to face the fact that you may lose the love of your life. I supported my husband while he was gone and I am very proud of my faithfulness to him. Now if I would have found out that he had an affair while he was gone it would have been unforgivable. Although it was harder for him to be there, it still was in no way easy for me.

If you can’t be faithful then don’t commit. It’s as easy as that. If your spouse doesn’t make you happy then leave. You can’t have your cake and eat it too. Life just doesn’t work like that. No matter how hard anyone tries, cheating can NEVER be justified.

Monogamy is rarely seen in

Monogamy is rarely seen in the animal world however it's expected in the human world...I guess the power of love is so strong that humans force themselves to go without "sex" when their life partner is not around...

Cristina134 -

you certainly stated that well. Faithfulness to the marriage and the spouse is the only way, even if it is difficult and involves sacrifice.

Interestingly, I just watched a war movie (Thin Red Line) last evening. In it the husband is off to war and gets through the difficult times by thinking on his wife and their close relationship.

Towards the end of the movie it is so sad when he gets a letter from her stating that she has fallen in love with another man and wants a divorce from him. She was not callous about it, but she was dumping him just the same. The reason: she was too lonely and could not stand it anymore.

Hats off to you! You met the challenge and came out the victor.

I worked at the NCO club at night..

and I saw things that made me believe there is no such thing as a lady anymore.

Are We Still the "Home Of The Brave?"

I was a Military dependant

My wife got deployed while we were living oversea's. I went out with my friends to the NCO club the night she left for a guys night out. It was disgusting how many wife's of soldiers I knew were in there without their rings on. Jody made out good that night. For those non military people (Jody = The guy who sleeps with your wife while you are deployed) Me and my friends ended up going to my house on post and played poker.
