Infidels!!!!!



Ah, don't let the pictures misinterpet the message today, but I am gonna give a good opinion of mine on something that is VERY relevant for the troops and their families. I put the picture up of the family, because that is what is important to me, and in this episode, I might get a little heated, I don't know, but I tend to just be off the cuff with these things and I get mad!
This isn't something that affects me personally, but in a way I am affected by the outcome of other peoples trangressions!
INFIDELITY in the military is not that uncommon, and it is one that that just pisses me off in the world, let alone the military! Now, if someone has a girlfriend or boyfriend and the cheating goes on than, whatever, such is life, and everyone has their views and how they live their life!
HOWEVER, once you get married, for the life of me, HOW IN THE HELL CAN YOU JUSTIFY A SEXUAL RELATIONSHIP WITH SOMEONE BESIDES YOUR SPOUSE? I LOVE my spouse and for all the great thiings she has done for me, I don't understand how someone would even consider that an option! I like talking to women, but would never think of being unfaithful! You give up family, friends , lifestyles, ALL FOR A NUT!!!! I LOVE SEX, but I don't NEED SEX!
And the only reason I love it so much is because I am fortunate enough to be able to do it with a hot wife that I was able to lasso up!
I just don't understand it, and have NO respect for someone that has NO respect for their family! I don't even care if you don't have kids. Why did you get married in the first place?
I don't care if you have marriage problems! Now, here's the thing! Marriage is a religious commitment to ME, some people see it as more of a lawful thing! Well, that does not justify unfaithfulness! See, then you mix the military with these things, and the fact that people leave, and get deployed, moved around, unacompanied for months, even years of time away from family! Well, of course you get horny, and your body needs attention, and they have things for that! It's call Lefty and Righty! IF YOU ARE UNFAITHFUL TO YOUR LAWFULL SPOUSE YOU ARE A PIECE OF SHIT! NO EXCUSE!!!! And if you have the lack of respect even more to do it on deployment, while your family sits at home and takes care of EVERYTHING for you, I can wish nothing but for them to find out and DITCH your ass! Now, let's flip this bad boy around, and say the SPOUSE is at home having the time of their lives with infidels! Because that is just as common! All the while their spouse is risking their life for them providing, while getting their rocks off in the states! I think it is just a poisonous environment, and it is a big reason I got off active duty, because I saw SO many families torn apart, because it was so common and accepted. And NO ONE can tell me it isn't, because IT IS! Now, we have a lot of great upstanding spouses and soldiers that are happily in love and support each other through thick and thin! I commend them, and am proud to be a commited honorable husband that MEANT what he said at his wedding, and have followed the values that were meant to mean something, and cares about not only their spouse, but kids as well, who in the end are affected by it! I don't know why this was on my mind, well, I do but anyone I know that ever has done this, and especially on a deployment, is a piece of shit, and you will know who I am talking about with the way you are treated FOREVER, by me!

Aside from that, today started the bigger adjustment to having us all 4 back in the office, and it isn't bad, but I really did not mind there being 2 of us here, and I love these guys, but honestly, I just am sick of active duty military, and being deployed. I know, and I can honestly say that this downturn in reenlistments, and enlistments will get worse before it gets better, and the military plays hardball a lot and puts these people on stop/loss, and yeah they can talk tough then to the soldiers, but once the soldier has the upper hand they have to give them a HUGE bonus just to stay in! Well, unfortunatley, sometimes a HUGE bonus works, but only because that person needed the $! I just think sometimes the people in the chain forget about the soldiers own good and are to worried about themselves, and the fact that it is military, and you can screw someone with no sweat off your back, they do it. I will tell you I am a HUGE what comes around goes around guy! And what go UP, must come DOWN! I love seeing people come back down when they deserve it! It's like 4th of July baby!
Have a great Saturday, and come back tommorrow for my jottings, and frolickng and FUN!
Todays wasn't fun, but relevant!
Later,
Erik

Erik that was one great post. You go soldier. The one big thing you left out was. "Thou shalt not commit adultry."
I don't care if you believe in God or not when you get married and enter that contract, you have the obligation to live up to it. If you sign a contract to finance a car and you don't live up to it, your car is repossed. Marriage should be looked at as the same kind of contract. You don't live up to your end(Faithfulness) of the agreement you lose everything.
Divorce also affects other family members, like parents. I went through a divorce with one of my sons and when he was hurting I was hurting. I loved my daughter in law like a daughter and when she had her affair and left my son, I felt betrayed. Divorce and unfaithfulness is hard on everyone. What a selfish act too get a thrill.

It is disgusting, isn't it? My hubby came back with a new found disgust for guys he knew were bottom feeders.

Being one of the wives, from many deployments, it's crazy to see the wives doing the same thing. It's horrible.

Vent away Erik. We're listening. We hear you..and love that you're one of the good ones.

~k,
Well, I can't say I hate , no.
Although I don't really know you or your situation! I have seen your site with Kat, and I will say you do a lot for the troops and for that I thank you!
I guess, why I say, if you are not married, and you do it, I mean, it's not mine to judge your relationships, as I know people can be committed without being married, but I might have felt different when I wasn't married and my commitment level! I wasn't always the romantic I play in real life, and I was never a big cheater anyways, because I would never have gotten commited if I wanted to sway! I guess what I am trying to say is you have more to give up when you are married, and you have taken the commitment to the ultimate level. Marriage is different things to different people. I know people have problems, but then break up, if your not married! If your married you should just not do it! My opinion! I know it is common for some to justify WHY, but, that is probably to make themselves feel better! That is a sign of a character flaw, and yes, people make mistakes, and if you are deployed and you are married, well, NO EXCUSE! If your not married, and you do it, well you should just break up at that point, cause it will NEVER be forgotten, and will always be in the back of your minds! I'm babbling, but short answer, is No, I don't hate you!

Erik,
Excellent post. I have to tell you that after being married for nearly 36 years to the same man, both of us know in our heart that each of us has been 100% faithful every single day of those 36 years. There is nothing that builds trust and love more in a marriage than knowing your spouse has been faithful. There are no seeds of doubt to get in the way of whatever conflict we may have...and there are still some of those, but not many. Some dear friends...a soldier and his wife who we love dearly...broke up because of infidelity at home while he was deployed. I don't understand how that can happen, but it does and it's heartbreaking and you are so right...the children suffer the most. I thought they broke the mold when I found Ron...but when I see my kids, and hear young men like you standing up for marriage, it sure is something to be thankful for.
Stay safe for that family you love so much.

DO YOU MEAN TO TELL ME YOU CAN FIND 1 GOOD REASON FOR UNFAITHFULNESS?
LET ME KNOW AND I WILL TELL YOU....BULLSHIT!
