Your cheating heart

I get it. Deployment sucks. A lot. You want the list of shit I hate about deployment? Well here's my top ten with number 1 sucking the most:

1. Just being alone all the time
2. Having to be mom and dad to 4 kids
3. Not being able to have an adult conversation
4. Taking care of the house and cars alone
5. Waiting for the phone to ring just to hear his voice
6. Dealing with in-laws who just don't get it
7. Lack of sex
8. Lack of sleep
9. Cooking for my kids (really cooking, because chicken nuggets don't work nightly)
10. Spending money on getting my lawn mowed

Some of this is petty and stupid, but honestly bothers me. Here's the point I want to make though: notice where sex is on this list. It made the top ten, but it's not number one. I like sex as much as the next person--I mean, I do have four kids--but sex is not an all-encompassing, all-important thing that I cannot live without.

I keep asking myself why I am hearing about people cheating (and not just wives here) and divorces and all this stupidity. Why the fuck did you get married if you can't keep your damn pants on? It astounds me that guys overseas are screwing around (how they find the time or the women is beyond me) and wives here are leaving their husbands for some guy they met in a bar. WTF??

Get your heads out of your asses. There is more to marriage than sex and if you can't see that, you shouldn't have gotten married. But if you are a wife stateside, you could at least have the common decency to wait until your husband gets home to leave him. Doing it during deployment is basically saying that he could come home in a box for all you care. You also better not come within range of me because I have no tolerance for this shit and you will not like what I have to say. Just be warned. You fuck around on one of my boys and I will fuck your world.
