Separation Anxiety

From my last blog you can see how I feel about "Infidelity" but I have a better understanding of it. I still vehemently believe in the sanctity of marriage I see how one can get caught up in the web of infidelity. As emotional beings we were made for relationships and when the most important one is under stress we look for escape. This is why marriage takes work, it takes an enormous amount of efforts on both husband and wife that they affair proof their marriage. Both spouses need to ensure that the needs of the other is being met. I believe this is amplified for those of us in the military. There are not many jobs in the world where one can be separated from their spouse for a year or more. So keeping connected takes serious effort. Affairs happen when that connection starts to fade and "Separation Anxiety" kicks in. This is when we try to find someone to fill that void. Here is where many people give in and cross the line between fidelity and infedility. As I see it, it is not always an overt act but can be very subtle. And that subtly causes people to get in over there heads and before they know it, they blew it. Is there a full proof way to to prevent this??? I don't know, I used to think that people who cheated were weak but I know believe that it can happen to anyone and that no one is immune from it. I encourage you all of you to fight hard for you marriage. It will be hard but it will be worth it!!!
