All I have to say is why.

Ok I am sitting here lost and confused. I'm trying to figure out why these military wives/gf's keep complaining about their spouses deployments knowing full well they were going to deploy. I'm talking about the women who start dating or marry these men a few days or weeks before they deploy then complain that they are lonely. Are you freaking kidding me? You knew full well they were going to deploy why in the hell are you complaining about it? Did you think they were gonna sit home all day with you? They are in a job that deploys them. I have no sympathy for you at all, you go into these relationships with the full knowlege of what is going to happen yet you still whine and complain about them being gone. This is not directed to all military spouses, just those that act like they are surprised that their spouse is going to deploy, like it came out of no where. And the one's who as soon as their husband/bf deploy they want to break up or cheat. Why in the hell would you people even get invovled if you can't handle them deploying? I mean seriously do us all a favor and stay away from military men.

I agree that is why I stay far away from military men.I can see being upset that he is going , but to complain when you know he was going doesn't make sense.The army or any arm forces life is hard and you have to be prepared to be apart from your loved one, that is why I shouldn't get involved with military men.i know that I would want my husband or boyfriend to be with me more than a military man could be.Here's hoping that all our armed forces get home soon.

See and I wish more people would think like you. Its not like they go into these situations blind, they know that the guy/girl is in the military yet they still cry and complain that they are leaving like its a huge shock. I just don't get it.

I would hope that some of them are just venting. I just can't believe that they married a soldier and had no idea he could be deployed. When I married my soldier, I always knew he could be sent. He got sent all over Europe and Africa. I was alone with the kids. That's just part of being a military wife. My dad told me a story from when he was in WWII. A guy on the boat would get a 'dear john' letter. The other guys would take pics of their girls and put them all inthe envelope. The dumped guy sent it back to his girl and said 'You want to leave me? Fine. Could you pick out your pic and send the others back?' I think the ones that cheat are just dogs. Don't give me that 'I'm lonely' crap!

LOL I love the thought of a guy sending a chick a bunch of pics of other women after she dumps him acting as if he'd been seeing them all the whole time. Thats freaking awesome. My brothers ex-wife did some crap like that to him. He was over in Iraq for almost 2 yrs, he came home to all his stuff being put in storage and the locks changed on his house. She moved him out and moved some sleezy punk in while he was gone. She's lucky she moved away before I could get ahold of her cause I would have beat the crap outta her for it.

Oh there you go again, hitting it on the head. Yes, I have seen this too many times. Hell my brother married one of these nuts. No sooner than he was gone, she started fooling around with a 17 year old. Busted her myself. Her excuse she was lonely. Good grief he hadn't been gone but a friggin week and a half!!!!

ROTFLMAO.. wow, whats really sad is when I use to live in housing you could tell when what boat was deployed and which one's were home. Mainly cause the guys that were deployed their wives were at the base clubs alot or there were random cars in their car ports. My all time favorite ones were the wives who's husbands had been gone for 6 months and they were 3 months pregnant. Oh yea talk about a wonderful welcome home.

I understand what you mean. I have been in the military myself, and that is where I met my husband. He stayed in longer than I did, so I did become a "military wife." He only had to go away once, for 2 weeks - this was all pre 9/11. It can be very stressful when your spouse leaves. There is a huge adjustment period. When they come back the same thing happens. My aunt's husband was in the military for his entire career. I asked her once if she felt sad when he was away. She would get used to him being gone, and said it drove her nuts when he came home!! LOL. But, yes, really. These people do know what they're getting into before they do it. Seriously. I wish we had all of our troops home too, but they have to do their job.
