Stress Overseas
Posted: 07-28-05 19:42pm

Alright ill start from the beginning, me and my wife knew eachother for about 2 month before we were talking abuot marriage, which is no problem because I like to do things out of the ordinary. We were together 9 months before I deployed here to iraq. Ive been here 6 months and and have a month left. Now, me and my wife had a beautiful relationship and were very happy with our lives and eachother, there was nothing to get us down, and everyone knew it. Now that ive been gone I feel its taking its toll on her and she can not deal with me not being there, and I understand that its hard, its not any easier on me. Well about a month ago she was talking to someone trying to help him with his relationship and he started to put the moves on her, she denied him the first time and the second time they slept together and she left crying. She regrets ever letting that happen. That is not easy for me to deal with, considering how I feel for her and I am willing to put it in the past for her. But recently she had gone home to visit her family and ran into more stress with her family problems and all, so she started hangning with old friends to make her happier, but now shes been hanging with her ex and says she still has feelings for him. She has not slept with him though, the reson they arent together is becasue he was unfaithful and she left him. Well she talked to someone in her family about her problems and they said for her to worry about her future. So now shes confused on what she wants. She says she still loves me and doesnt want a divorce. I told her to take her time and make up her mind by herself, not to let anyone else influence her decision and then let me know when shes ready. Well, should I wait for her decision, or go through what I dread and start the divorce process. Im really hurting over here and she seems very confused as to what she wants. I think its becuase im not there, and she is trying to fill that gap with distracting herself with other people. I may be wrong. What should I do, im so lost right now, ive been told to let her go, but that hurts to think about becuase I love her so much. Should I wait? What should I expect for a response. Has anyone gone through this before? Please help me out here. Thanks.

First off ide like to say wow! This really hit home. I have an uncle over seas who just recently returned home. He has been happily married now for about 4 years, but the first year wasnt so happy he went through the same situations with my aunt. I lived with her for a while while he was away and had to witness the damper him being gone put on there marriage. So I guess the only advice I can give you is wait it out. Your wife is probably very confused and upset right now. She probably wants to be with you more than anything but can't stand you being away which is making her want to run to someone who is there and can give her the affection and attention she is desiring right at this moment. My best bet would be to wait it out if she truely loves you she will put herself on hold for you until you come home,... And if not well then you deserve someone who will and at least you went down giving it your all. Good luck and godbless in all you do!

I hate women like that. Get over yourselfs damnit. I am a military wife and you know what I know what my husband has to do and see and I respect him for it. I know so many wives that cheat or leave their husbands because they cant handle it. Ahh that irritates me, I just do not understand how people can be so selfish! You know what divorce her. You can find better and you do not deserve that sh*t, you have enough on your plate as it is. It takes a real women to be a military wife and she obviously is not a real women. I have 3brothers in the service as well as my husband and if one of their wives did that to them you better believe theyd get an as* beating. (my sister and I (also a military wife) can be pretty scary if you piss us off).
Err sorry just reading that makes me mad.

Good luck, you deserve better
