I am angry and sad

XP from MF

My heart goes out to the OP, but keep reading. You'll see what I mean.

 

ETA: I fixed it on FF!

I've seen a lot of military surprise homecomings. It wouldn't work on me. I always have my back to the corner and my face to the door. Looking for terrorists, criminals, various other threats, and husbands.

Re: I am angry and sad

  • Can you tell me the board & post name?

  • I made it clicky (in a new window and everything), but it's on MF and it's the one about STDs.

  • Poor OP. That other chickadee is crazy cakes.

  • Oh goodness.  I really hope that it was just a false positive.  What terrible news to get when you think everything is a-ok.  As for the other woman, just wow.  In my mind, there is no excuse for cheating, stress/danger or not.  Terrible advice.
  • I hate the bump.

  • She's probably one of the females that makes the rest of us look bad.  That's the only reason I can come up with that would make her believe that BS is true.

  • I don't know of anybody who cheated on a spouse while I was deployed.  One of the dumb Sailors I worked with was cheating on his girlfriend/kid's mom, but he gave up so many red flags it was hard for me to feel bad for his girlfriend.

    It wasn't until I was on R&R that I saw the real dirt bags, but even then it wasn't cheating, just men thinking hook-ups with AF females were a possibility.  Psssh.

  • The closest thing to deployment scandal I've ever come across is a couple A and I met a while back who met on deployment, but he's an O and she was E Surprise

  • I saw that & just felt so bad. I'm curious about the deployment question. J's deployment is proving eventful. All kinds of shiit is coming out now. 

     

    The former military poster is an idiot. Cheating is cheating no matter where or why.

    Her enlistment was up shortly after they redeployed and supposedly nothing happened until then. They were "just friends" until she was out.

  • I don't think it would be too far off to assume that poster fcked around on her own deployment and that's the excuse she uses to make herself feel better. 
  • A. Yeah right

    B. Just friends isn't okay either.

     

    People don't think it's a big deal, but lack of respect for the law matters when you're a leader. It creates a climate of disrespect for the UCMJ, it's bad for every other officer because it makes the chain of command look awful, and it's just truly bad for good order and discipline.

     

    Im not railing at you, just railing in general.

    My 1/2 aunt (my dad's half sister) married an E man when her FI was killed in Vietnam. She was a LT at the time and retired a major. You may have a stroke now.

    That's kind of sad (the FI dying part). I hope her marriage is happy.

    Both her and my grandmother are mentioned in the book "the greatest generation" by Tom Brokaw. My grandmother is a war widow and my 1/2 aunt never met her father because of that. I'm truly shocked by the stories my grandmother and aunt tell. You know how people ask us how we deal with the separation? I Have no idea how they did it back then!

  • Uhhhh, guys?

    I think everyone's defensiveness is because they, themselves, are nervous of such things happening.

  • Obviously someone is lying in this post (if the 2nd test is +). 

    Semi-related story::::::::::::::   Oprah did a 2 part story on this couple (well mostly the women). Her husband was secretly gay (and sleeping around) but she didn't know until he gave her HIV. :( Super sad story. At first, she was irate but in the end she was able to forgive him and they are still friends but dang!

    Does she not have reading comprehension?  Of course it can and does happen; relationships are destroyed everyday because of it.  The defensiveness comes from using stress and distance as an excuse for being a crappy, disrespectful partner.  Cheesus.  

    Edited for typos. Yikes. 

  • If my husband cheats b/c he's stressed, that's ok?  I'll be sure to let him know.  Insecurity is the only reason I'd kick him to the curb.  Got it.

  • It's okay, y'all, she probably contracted it from a toilet seat. http://community.thebump.com/cs/ks/forums/thread/61264503.aspx

  • Did she just make this up?? I don't remember her mentioning that in the op.

     My husband is military and gets tested for STDs a couple times a year. In fact he just did about 2 months ago, and there was nothing.

  • I don't know of any military member, male or female, who gets tested multiple times a year. Maybe he likes the giant swab up his urethra so much he keeps asking for it.

  • I know when I had R, there was a woman in my birth classes who found out she was HIV+ only when she went in for pregnancy testing. Poor thing was devastated and her DH was a douche who was cheating on her, but she was too busy with their other children to notice.
