My boyfriend and I were discussing marriage....until I visited him on base. It seemed like a real life version of The Truman Show. At that very moment, I knew I would never want to be a military wife. We broke up 2 months later.

I cheated on my husband when he deployed. I know it's no excuse, but he cheated on me numerous times, beat me, and overall made me as miserable as possible. We decided to try to save our marriage. I find myself missing the other guy more than I miss my husband when he's away. He's in a relationship now and having a baby... Maybe I should have just let him leave me and stayed with the man who really made me happy.

I'm just another wife who's husband cheated. Repeatedly. I forgave and forgave because I was afraid to start over on my own with my baby. I finally got brave, left him.. got an amazing paying job and regained my independence. I am a completely different person and getting out of that trainwreck marriage is the best thing I've ever done. I've never been happier.

Should've thought about that before you got married. Kind of childish to decide after the fact that you 'dont know what you want'. Be an adult and stick to your commitment. Everyone's relationship goes through ups and downs. Doesnt sound like there is any real reason to 'take a vacation from marriage'. Did I miss that option in my vows somewhere? When he annoys me I can just take a vacation from him?

This is my 3rd night sleeping on the couch, why? Because, "I'm a woman in my twenties, I don't know what I want!" That pretty much sums it up. 3 days and I want to jump his bones already! I find him so attractive physically but emotionally our relationship is lacking. We have been married 6 years and I am just now noticing what irritates me about him. Really? WTH is my problem? Why do I want to run away? What is wrong with me? Why do I want to leave so badly? I just can't figure it out. I need a vacation from my marriage. I'm soooo grown up. Pfft.

This marriage is so pathetic. How on earth did I end up here? I have so much more to offer a partner in life. I wish I would have realized he didn't want it.

I am tired of living in a lonely marriage. I know this is to be expected, I'm not new to this life but still. I hate doing it all on my own and in the end not even having him appreciate it and it's like we are two very different people since we live different lives. Hard to make sense of it but it's just how it is without going into too much detail. Sighhh, wish I had a true partner in life.

I cheated on my husband when he was deployed. We had been having a rough marriage ever since we tied the knot and him deploying made things worse. We are going to counseling and are no longer separated, I have more love and respect for him than ever before, but I have no idea what to say to him as to why I cheated. I know he'll want closure about that, but I don't even know why I did it and have no idea what to tell him as to why I cheated. Will I do it again? Hell no. Lesson learned. But I know he still wonders and thinks that I will and it kills me inside. Wish I could take back the past.

I'm a new wife, just moved near a base and find myself disgusted with just about every other wife and/or couple I meet. Some are so young (and I thought I was) and treat marriage like a joke. One wife seems mentally abusive. Another looks at other guys and talks about past boyfriends a lot. I thought this was what I wanted but I'm so put off by this city and the people in it I just want us to be able to go back to our hometown. And it hurts so much that we can't. I hate this life.

how does one trust after dh had an affair? i love him and but it hurts so much. we have spent the majority of our marriage apart and the only thing that made it all worth it was the trust we had for each other. i understand the longing for the touch of another...but acting on it?!? And i knew the way you got off the phone with me while she was at my house. So i called you backed and asked if there was something going on and you laughed at me and said no. we got orders and we were doing so much better, but after you'd wish me goodnight, you'd go and be with her.
