Just an update for those who remember me. WW has been in Iraq for the past year. She got extended for another 3 months. Should be home in another month or so. I found out about her A when she was home on leave during Christmas. As far as I know A was exposed and WW was moved to another squad.
Been tring to plan A but only get about one phone call every two months or so and only one letter every month. This is her 4th A as that I am aware of in our nearly 30 years of marriage. She is in combat nearly every day and I know she will return home changed. Only time will tell if it is for the good.
Our kids have grown and moved away from home but my health is bad and I can no longer work. A diviorce would put me on welfare. OH Well things could be worse. Anyway when WW returns it will take a while before we can even discuss the latest A. I know she will just want to forget it and act like nothing happened. Same as the other times.
Sorry for the rant. Just wanted you to know I'm stll here, still waiting, still hurting.

deephurt,
I'm glad you posted again!
This has to be hard on you, with so little chance to communicate and having to wait so long.
Keep reading,,keep posting and that month will soon pass.

deephurt -
Glad to see you are hanging in there. It has to be hard with having so little communication from wife. And yes, she will probably come back changed. Hopefully she will be ready to work on your marriage.

Thanks for the replys. It's been a difficult year even before I found out about the A. I wish other men with wifes in the military would be more open. Most do not want to face the unique problems the situation presents.
