How would you feel....?

Here is the situation:

A friends family member is married to a soldier. Who has been in Iraq for the past year. They have a son together (just under two yrs old).

While he was gone she had an affair. Contemplated getting a divorce while she continued this affair. Now that the affair is over she posts away messages all about how much she loves her husband and can't wait for him to come home. All because the guy she was having an affair with decided to stop it. Now she loves her husband again? Mind you while her husband was in Iraq his unit was attacked by chemical warfare. (He's ok but other members of his unit are not).

I'm beyond disgusted with her. I can't say anything TO her because it's not my place, I'm not that close with her.

I'm just disgusted and I wish he knew what she did while he was away. (Granted he's not an angel too BUT he's never done what she did).

How does this make you ladies feel?Chat Icon

I would feel bad for him, BUT you never know what goes on behind closed doors. Who really knows their whole story.
It's their business.

Re: How would you feel....?

sadly---this is sooooo much more common than it should be. my BIL is in Iraq right now and my sister is in the Navy--and the STORIES they have about what happens when they are away. Its just disgusting sometimes what goes on while they are away and the spouse is here in the U.S.

I am just as disgusted as you with that story. Its terrible!

It IS disgusting. And I am sorry to have learned this is more common than not.

Although - I know a lot of volunteer fire departments are rampant with adultery and I also thought police depts were too.

I never really gave adultery much thought until I was married and it's shocking actually how much of it goes on.

Sorry to veer off-topic.

Ok this isn't to target you in any way, but I think that's a very stereotypical comment about fire dept members and cops. Yes I know cops who have cheated as well as fireman, but I don't think its more then non members.

To the OP I would feel really bad for him. Hopefully she will come clean and they work it out.

I wouldn't say it's more common than not. I was a military wife, and the vast majority of wives I knew were faithful to their husbands while they were deployed.

But I agree that it's not as rare as one would hope, and it's an awful thing to do to someone who's far away from home and family, in harm's way, thinking of and missing his wife every day.

To answer the OP, I'd feel sad for that woman's DH.

Yeah - I said a lot - I thought I wrote "some". I didn't mean to drag all FDs down, I'll edit.

I was referring to the members in the military - not their spouses at home - in response to PJBs comment...

OK - I thought her comment was also referring to the behavior of the spouses at home. Regardless of whether it's the military members themselves or their spouses, I still wouldn't say it happens more often than it doesn't...

Re: How would you feel....?

Not knowing the whole the story from all pespectives, it is gross to cheat and use ppl and ruin the sanctity of marriage.

However, it sad but in the military it happens often where ppl get married who arent ready or understand the commitment they made. I know several ppl who were in the military who were married and divorced or separated within a year. Cheating was involved in everyone of them by one or both parties. Needless to say they all got married young and without really knowing the person, it was liek it was something to do while in basic training etc. I am not sayinal all military marraiges are like this but the record of forever is not very high. My point is this isnt surprising but still disgusting on her part and if he isnt doing the same thing over there in Iraq and is a better person than I feel sorry for him as far as his marriage goes. Ofcourse this doesnt take away from what he is sacrificing by being a soldier.

Phew sorry so long, i want to try to be clear as to not cause any Chat Icon Chat Icon Chat Icon

I feel bad for the soldier. This really pisses me off! He is out there risking his life every second and she's here doing this!

Unfortunately, that type of thing happens a lot more than we know (BF was in the Army)
