| To many people out there are f'ed up! It's like they were born without a nurturing gene. My Korean friend is married to a military guy who will be stuck in Iraq until November. She said it would be worse for a dating couple than a married couple. Excuse me??? I think ti'd be worse to be married to someone and not see him for a year. But, at least he didn't choose to go to Iraq. He got sent there. But, what's up with all these idiots who choose to be away from their spouses/kids for a whole year? I have met some freaks like that here in Korea. Losers if you ask me. |

Well, I guess for some folks, cash is more important than seeing your wife. No wonder so much cheating goes on. |

| I'm also talking about people who choose to stay away from their spouse for a whole year of studying, too. Idiots! |

what's up with all the negativity? not everyone who is away from their spouse cheats.
my parents met in korea in 1973 and got married in 1976, right after which my dad was assigned to a job in africa. what would a non-english speaking korean woman do in africa for 2 years? so after being married only a few months, mom stayed in korea and dad went to africa. they waited until after my dad's (non-military, ahem) contract ended and then started their life in the states in 1978, having celebrated thier 30th anniversary last year.
i also wondered why they would go through all of this- my dad says you can't pick who or when, but you just know when you want to marry. so like an earlier poster said, sometimes circumstances prevent you from being with your spouse at the moment, but the future you see together is worth being apart for a while.
and i don't consider either of my parents idiots. (or "f'ed up" for that matter.) |

A seriously dating couple would in no doubt would not survive this.
Also in regards a a marriede couple, the Army has lots of supportive programs for spouses and such to help deal with their loved ones being away on deployment. One would not receive that as a girlfirned/boyfriend |

Being in the military I know of many married couples who can deal with seperation due to some sort of professional development. I am not saying its the easiest thing to do but it happens.
Forexample I know a soldier who is a broadcast journalist living in DC. he had tro spend nearly a year in NY state to get training and I believe complete his bachelors in broadcast. it was tough for his wife but as far as she was concerned it was an investment for the family and that a greater good would happen for one years worth of pain.
(note she couldnt move with him in NY because she just landed a great job0
some may choose to stay but many do because circumstances do not allow for them to be together |
