Today, I discovered that my girlfriend of two years has been cheating on me for over five months, including while I was deployed to Afghanistan. FML

Me too. OMG. Makes me angry just reading about it.

hang in there brother. I know the feeling. if you get called up again put her pic on the wall of shame in the PX then post it on FB to show that bitch

It's time to make her famous. Take a topless pic of her. And forward it to everyone

Ugh, I hate these FMLs. They make me so angry! Cheating on someone is bad enough, but cheating on someone who is risking their life in a war is just terrible. I'm sorry, OP. I hope you find a girl who loves and deserves you.

Thank you 50. I couldn't have said it better myself. same goes to 46.

I'm not brainwashed at all, but thank you for assuming so. I also don't think that military personnel are better than anyone. I merely think cheating is worse when one is away for a long period of time serving their country. He expects to come home after a dangerous tour to his girlfriend only to find that she has betrayed him in one of the worse possible ways. I assume that if the OP is in Afghanistan where war is taking place regardless of his position, he is facing much more danger than at home and the likelihood of death increases significantly. Personal experiences, none of which I will explain, have led me to be jaded. I'm sorry my opinions differ from yours.

It is not that they are better rather they are more honorable. Shame on you two for trying to knock down a profession where they not only put their life on the line no matter where they serve but they risk reputation as well. Every waking day in every dark corner of this world there is a sentry watching over fellow countrymen and allies alike knowing that when they come home some ignorant uninformed person may feel the need to question what and where they served only to feel better about their cowardice path they have chosen. While not many civilians share your thoughts most military personnel share their love for their country.

I really don't understand why you're being so rude. Perhaps you believe otherwise, but I respected you when I replied to your comment. Please afford me the same courtesy. Also, if you're going to attack my verbiage and English skills, then please make sure your sentences are perfect as well.

71- soldiers did not start this war, or any war for that matter, they are there to keep peace, not start anything. wars are always started because people want something, someone won't give to them, and they take it anyway. 73- do you realize that there are a lot of jobs in the military, and your jobs is probably in there somewhere? so before you say your job help people, I bet 9 times out of 10 a soldiers' job helps someone, and doesn't involve just "shooting at people". expand your mind a little folks.

kesler- I understand your point. :) regardless of profession to be away and then come home to someone who betrayed your trust by cheating is absolutely awful. in my opinion it's worst when the person is a soldier bc they are already somewhat miserable. yes by their own decision yet miserable none the less since they are away from their loved ones and their comfort zone for a long period of time. They rely on the trust and support of their loved ones to get them through the hard times. OP- shit happens you'll find someone who's willing to hike that mountain with you. Also thank you for your service.

112 - I agree that it's the same to an extent if you're not shooting or getting shot at. A role in the military is more honourable than normal people is that they face harsher and sometimes longer lasting stress. For example, a comparison between a Combat Medic and a city Paramedic; they both do almost the same stuff (maybe a few more for the Paramedic) except sometimes, the Combat Medic suffers CSR and/or PTSD and gets scared shitless more often than a Paramedic. It's the stress that military personnel has to put up with that makes them more respectable, but neither am I saying that it's impossible that regular people can't be more respectable than military people either.

That's what happens when you abandon your significant other for months at a time. There are so many FMLs of people coming back from war or jail or whatever and then being surprised that their girlfriend/boyfriend didn't put their entire life on hold. Not everyone will be willing to wait around for you.

#22 Your a peice of shit.. Do you even no what it feels like to be away from family for an extended amount of time... Until you do keep your mouth shut... Life sucks for us but its great for you BC of us. Op Sorry man i no the feeling jus leave her ass

iwadasn - Bad move, posting that utter rubbish. You've just shown the entire FMLosphere that you are an uncaring, stupid, insensitive bitch with a completely unrealistic view of the world. Congratulations.

#28 I totally agree with you he is a piece of shit!! I couldn't imagine not waiting for my marine and I haven't put my life on "hold" I do everything the same as when he was here I just don't get to see him I live for when I get a call or a letter and for me that's enough cuz I know he didn't leave me by choice and I can wait I'm not some ho who needs sex enough to break a commitment I made girls who do are nasty and trashy and don't deserve a good man

28, you really believe that my life is good because of soldiers? I live in the middle of Illinois. They don't affect me at all. And learn English before you attack someone else, okay? Thanks.

No i think it because of all military... you think because you live there we don't fight for you.. get over yourself.

Okay, how does the military affect my life? I don't live in the Middle East; I don't live anywhere where terrorism is a threat. The war could go on for ten years or stop tomorrow and it wouldn' affect me at all. Are you really so arrogant as to think that the military personally affects every single person in the country? You're the one who needs to get over yourself.

22-My husband deployed for 16 months straight. He almost didn't get leave. Not once did I entertain the thought of finding me some Jody to fix the itch because "he chose to leave". He did what he did by enlisting because he believed hat it would make a slight difference in his three children life. So **** you and your misplaced arrogance.

#22 you have definitely posted the most worthless comment ever and for that you should just punch yourself in th face over and over again!!! you sir are the type of ignorant that shouldn't even think about posting anything on FML AGAIN!!!

#22 never implied that people are deployed by choice. Why is everybody reacting as though he said it was the FAULT of the military people? He didn't... cool off, everyone, you react so vehemently without thinking. #22 is right in the facts he is stating - many partners are not willing to wait around for weeks, or months or years. Whether it be that they don't think it's worth it, they don't trust their partner to be faithful while away, or they are just weak people... whatever the case may be, some people won't stick around and that's just the way it is. It shouldn't always be expected that everyone will wait, because some people don't have it in them to be selfless. The people who leave should have a ******* good reason (reasons good enough for any moral person would be few and far between), otherwise they're just being selfish cows, but everyone replying and bashing on #22 for offering a different opinion needs to calm down. Obviously this is a bad FML, and as I said the people who leave are total bullshit artists, and I do NOT agree with people who leave so don't start flaming me about it, but everyone calm the **** down, stop mouthing off at #22 for having an opinion. He's right, it shouldn't be such a shock that not everyone waits.

if the military doesn't affect all of us, remember this, if it wasn't for that military your so disdainful of, you'd be speaking German as a first language right now you ungrateful little snit.

Don't feed this troll. Obviously s/he wants the attention that they can't get from being a hero like the OP. People who really feel like that, however, should realize before hand that they can't put their life on hold while their partner is away, and tell them before they leave, hey, we need to take a break or something, cause I can't put my life on hold while you're gone.

#85.... if it weren't for the military, nuclear warfare could easily be used against us. should a rival country decide to drop a hydrogen bomb on NYC or DC, yes, Illinois WOULD NOT be impervious; please refrain from arrogance and please refrain from pretension.

Let me paraphrase what 140 is saying: "Someone has a different opinion than I do. I can't think of anything intelligent to say in response, so I'll just dismiss them as a troll so that I can avoid addressing the actual issue."

138, I see no problem with learning German. Sheesh, I wonder how those people in Germany do it? It must be a HORRIBLE thing.

22 you see how everyone commenting thinks you're a piece of shit? yeah. because you are.

168, you see how my comments and the comments supporting me have lots of thumbs ups, while the comments attacking me have lots of thumbs downs? Yeah, that's because most people agree with me.

I'm a marine. I joined because I wanted to serve the country that has given me the freedoms that it seems so many, like yourself, have taken for granted. the military has affected you. without the military you would saluting a Nazi flag every morning. or maybe you would just be a pile of ash from the nukes dropped on the states. you think there wouldn't be more attacks on this country if we weren't around? if it weren't for a military this country wouldn't even exist. maybe you don't see the day to day affects but you are affected. you are entitled to your opinion. I'm fighting so that you have a right to voice your thoughts. but out of respect for everyone who has died and is dying so that you can say things like that, maybe you should keep opinions like that in the privacy of your own home. and if you have that big an issue with the men and women fighting for your freedoms, then find citizenship somewhere else. no one is forcing you to live here. that's the beauty of the united states.

to 22, to compare deployment to a war fighting for your country to someone who breaks the law and goes to jail is pretty lame, you are an Ahole OP your life sucks, your gf is a Cnt

Being in jail is like being deployed in that they both cause a person to be separated from their significant other for a long period of time.

You're missing the point. Regardless of why people are in the military and regardless of why people are in jail, THEY ARE BOTH AWAY FROM THEIR LOVED ONES FOR A LONG TIME. Do you get it now?
