you know, she just needed help putting up a shelf in her house and invited over a friend, and well, that turned into sex somehow. That's always the story. Military wives cheat like crazy when they start the relationship on a rocky foundation. Cheating is rampant in the military, so this is going to be very interesting.
yeah why is that? the cheating bit? doesnt make sense to me. How could they just cheat like that on someone they love...
Honestly, I have tried to analyze this unfortunate statistic, but I seriously believe it is because the majority of these women get married straight out of high school or marry a man just because he is in the military and the effects that it has on someone. When you are with someone in the military, it has a strange way of casting a spell on you, and you are more in love than ever when they are gone to basic/bootcamp/deployment/etc. So, people get married really fast, and more so because of the benefits as well as less separation if you are married (the military will allow you to move with your loved one to various duty stations).
So, whether it be that mystical spell it puts on people or just the benefits, people get married prematurely and fall into the hands, or lap, of the next available man. It's sad, but unfortunately, it's just how it is in the military for many.
Don't get me wrong, service men/women cheat a lot too while on deployment, but I have met a ton of very immature (and not in a derogatory way, just that they really are immature and young and jumped into marriage prematurely) women who just have a ton of babies and don't make the best of decisions as far as spending money, raising children, and being faithful.
