Resolved Question

If you found out that your husband was cheating on you while deployed, do you confront him?

My husband's last text as he was on his way to his station of deployment was "Taking off, Love ya". . . with a picture of him waving. Since he sent a picture, I was on my way to saving the information on my cell phone when I found out that the text was also sent to some other person, an ex-coworker we have argued about in the past. Unable to confront him about the situation and looking further into the "LOVE YA". . . I found evidence that he has been communicating with her quite often. Since he's deployed I don't want to confront him about the situation because knowing him. . . he would just hang up and I would be left in the dark. I love my husband and I would love to work it out because there are kids in the picture. What should I do??? PLEASE HELP!

I found out my husband had cheated while deployed. And just like your husband, mine is the type to hang up too, but I still confronted him over the phone. Waiting until he's home will only make things worse. He went into defense mode and didn't want to talk about it. So I had to send him e-mails until he got back to me. Just let him know that you know. Then he'll be forced to think about what he's done. I'm sorry this happened to you. I wish you the best of luck.

You should never stay in a marriage because you have kids. He didn't care enough about the kids to not cheat on you and he's telling some other woman the same thing that he is telling his wife and that is an insult to you and it cheapens the husband wife union. Your marriage is over and he is stringing you and that girl along. She is no good because she knows that he is married. He is no good because he is married and has children that will suffer his being unfaithful to you and to them. I say file for divorce. You have already confronted him about this woman and you see the results? He's STILL at it. Time for you to get over it and move on. Being deployed has nothing to do with the fact that he is cheating on you and it happened HERE not where he is. FILE FOR DIVORCE!!!! If you don't you'll regret it. A marriage is over the minute a spouse cheats. He won't stop with just this one woman. There will be others too. There ARE others. I am a veteran and I KNOW what I am talking about.

Forget about it.....war makes men stupid, I know. If you love him persevere.....if not time to find a lawyer. Confronting him will only make him run to her, sad but true.
He is scared and trying to make himself feel good...

well, if i were you,since my husband in the type to hang up too so for sure he will deny it and maybe he will take a side as if you're accusing him of something he didn't even think about and you have kids.So i will act as if i know nothing.Try to pay more attention to him and to yourself.Force him to spend more time with you and with his kids as much as you can.Try to take him back,ask him about things he like/dislike about you.Make him feel guilty by indirect way for example:tell him that a friend of yours figured out that her husband cheated on her and ask him about his advice to her. And wait for a while if he didn't change,then do what he adviced your friend to do.And Good luck...and please think wisely how to have your husband back to you and only you..

Being deployed gives him no right to his dishonesty. By not confronting him with your new found knowledge, it will only eat away at you as long as you remain silent. I understand that you Love your husband but ask yourself...is a cheating husband what you really want for yourself and your children? While he's deployed will you continue to receive letters/emails that are being sent to another woman at the same time your receive them? He will spend a long time away from home...what is he saying to her that you don't know about? If you really want to work it out...give voice to your thoughts. If he truly Loves you, why are you receiving an email intended for not just you, but another woman? Don't sale yourself short...you and your children deserve so much more. We teach our children to be strong by way of showing our own strength. Letting it go would be a sign of weakness. You don't have to be brave and take it like a Man...be strong and take it like a Woman! Good luck and I wish you and your children the better in life...Two Of Hearts

When he gets home confront him with what you know and tell him you both are going to marriage counseling to try and resolve these issues.
good luck
