No I am not cheating on my husband or nor would I ever.. But I would like people opions on people who do cheat espically military. For an example I have a friend who's husband is deployed to Iraq for a year and she is cheating and feels is is completley okay.

I completely disagree with what your friend is doing. As a wife you know that in marriage you take vows to love honor and cherish you partner. I don't see cheating with another person loving your partner, and it sure as heck isn't showing any honor and it isn't cherishing the bond you promised to share with them. Has your friend just come out adn told you shes doing this? Doy uo feel any obligation to tell her husband when he gets back? I feel there is nothing worse in a relationship then a secret of this magnitude.

So wrong! I am an Air Force wife and I haven't had my husband sent overseas yet, the longest he has been away in 6 months to train in another state, but I could never find any justification to cheating. I get a little worried not so much about if my husband will cheat on me but if rumors will tear us appart. I have a friend who is a military wife who some of the women that were cheating on their husband started the rumor that she was too and then they were telling her that her husband was cheating on her and they ended up divorsced. Like 5 years later they had a real heart to heart and now both know niether one had an affair. Every time my husband leaves people try to tell me you don't know what he's doing and he could cheat and you would never know it. I tell them I trust him and love him so I do know what he is doing. I have also heard of military wife and husband who tell each other about other relationships and both cheat and think it's okay, because they are unable to be with each other. Sad and Sick if you ask me.

Oh I so agree, espcially living on a military base rumors get spread very quickly. Trust is the nu,ber one thing in a relationship espically when you are Married to the military and your spouse is gone so much

That's why I'm glad the guard doesn't have base housing. Only thing I liked about base housing at the time was free electricity. We even had a street that was nicknamed Divorce Lane.

Seems like she maybe in it for the benefits and I'll let those with imaginations decide what those benefits are. It's so sad to have spouses female and male disrepect any branch of the military by having an affair.

I think she knows it's wrong but for some reason either does not care or does not really love her husband like she says she does

There is nothing okay about cheating on your spouse. It's obvious that she doesn't take her marriage vows seriously. If she truly loved her husband, the thought wouldn't even enter her mind. Would she be "okay" with him cheating on her?

I agree with you. She should pour that excess energy into keeping the home fires burning til he gets back to enjoy them with her. Keeping a marriage intact while a partner is away is even tougher than keeping one intact while being with each other. If she loved this man enough to marry him, then she should love him enough to take care of him, even when he's not present.

It has always been wrong,but nowadays in the western world it has become a norm and nothing is taboo.If you ask someone who cheats on his/her partner the reply you get,"dont judge me or who a hell you are to judge me what i do is wrong?" The vows thing is only a church formality and nothing else!!

Why did she get married if it is okay to have a relationship outside your marriage? I am married to a retired Marine. We have been married 20 years have 4 kids and not once have I cheated on him or thought of it. She must have married him for the extra money. I think the wives of Service members have a tough job but as the saying goes "If you can't hang with the big dogs get off the porch." I would get the evidence and when he gets back I would let him know. If it comes to a divorce that evidence would help him so she doesn't get anything from him. Any woman or man who cheats should have to pay the other for the suffering that one has to go through. Hope there are no children involved yet or before he gets home. Prayers sent for the Service member in Irag and all those deployed. And by the way he never cheated on me either.

marine wife - marine wife
I am not really sure why she got married, I guess she is just lonley.. Congratulations on your 20 years of marriage!!!! Thats wonderful= ) I am pretty much staying ouuta all of this, my husband is suppose to get back before her husband.. and soon after my husband gets back he is suppose to get transfered so I am not really sure I will be able to say anything to him. I think the guilt is starting to get to her and maybe she will tell him herself or he will find out

Cheating is wrong, no matter what. Especially when you're married and have agreed to commit for life.

Ya1 Cheating is very wrong. Whether your husband is next to you or gone to another state, makes no difference. A man and a woman get married and are committed to each other for life.They should never cheat on one another. I just cannot think otherwise.

It is totally wrong. He is over there risking his life while she is here acting like that. My husband drove a truck over the road and would be gone for several months and I never once thought of cheating. If he is willing to do whatever it takes to earn money for his family, she should be faithful. How would she feel if something happened to him and she knows she's not being the best wife she could be?

when she is involved in a relationship and she cheats on him it could ruin her relationship forever. If he finds out he might not be able to trust her ever again. and if she realy like that person it could be the biggest mistake of her life.

I hate to see that happen to people. I live on a military installation and unfortunately I see it happen on a daily basis. We have actually had people be murdered here because of their infidelity, whether it be by the angry husband or the jealous boyfriend. I think that if you take you marriage vows then you should stand by them. You know what you are getting yourself into when you marry a person in the military...therefor the fact that they are deployed is a terrible excuse to be with someone else. But the one thing that really gets me upset is those spouses who stay with their deployed spouse until the deployment is almost over and then they take all the money and everything in the house and move away. Chances are they knew that they wanted a divorce...they just rode it out and lived the good life with someone else's hard earned money. STAY FAITHFUL!!!

It's always wrong to cheat! Your friend should read my soldier discussion and maybe she'd understand what he is dealing with while she is 'dealing with' him being away. Too sad, really.

Vows are vows, right? It didn't have a clause where if you are alone for more than 2 days, 2 months or 2 years, that you can cheat. It is never acceptable.

my husband is a marine too and i would never think about cheating on him and i never would and i have heard the same thing that its common in the military. i think it is completely wrong. our men our over there severing and some wives feel as it is and opportuny to do what they want. and thats so wrong. is that how you show your respect for all the danger and stuff they get into just for our freedom.
