Today, I flew home to Germany to see my wife before I'm deployed, only to find her in bed with another guy. She explained that she wants us to stay together, but she can't take a year without being intimate with someone. FML
Today, my girlfriend of over a year broke up with me while I'm deployed overseas. Her reason why is that she needs "to be alone to better herself." FML
Today, I came home from a one-year Army deployment, only for my wife to tell me she feels claustrophobic with me in the bed. She then asked for a divorce. FML
Today, I'm seven months into a twelve month deployment. I called my fiancée, and she dumped me. The worst part is that two days ago, I re-enlisted to go to a unit an hour away from her house. FML
Today, after I was on deployment 6000 miles away, and because my wife was struggling pretty bad with work, kids, and taking care of everything on her own, she finally had a breakdown so I came home early to help. I found out she was fucking another Navy dude the whole time. I should've stayed out there. FML
Today, I flew to Germany to meet up with a girl that I met in America five months ago and fell in love with. We've been talking every day for five months straight. I get here just for her to tell me that she likes me "like a brother." FML
Today, I flew cross-country to see my girlfriend of three years. Once I got there, she broke up with me. I was supposed to be staying for a month and now I have nowhere to go. FML
Today, I got back from an 8 month deployment but rather than being pleased to see me my wife wanted to continue the same argument we were having the day I left. I miss being shot at. FML
Today, I got back from a six month deployment overseas. My girlfriend of three years couldn't pick me up from the airport because she had an intramural softball game to go to. FML
Today, my girlfriend of almost a year, and to whom I intended to propose on Thanksgiving, dumped me because her husband will be returning from Iraq soon. And he wants to have a "talk" with me. I didn't know she was married. FML

I don't think this is the first and it's not going to be, I'll say break up, go wherever you are deployed, clear your head, come back and start over..

Your wife is a terrible person and the people feeling sympathy for her are weird

dump her

I mean its not unreasonable to discuss such an arrangement if your away for so long (not uncommon for military couples) but she should have discussed it. The fact that she tried to do it behind your back is not a good sign.

As a former Military member with a cheating (now ex) wife, I can tell you right now there’s no such thing as Military members allowing their spouse to cheat while they’re off on deployment...

Its not cheating if its an agreed arrangement and just because you don't know of it doesn't mean it doesn't happen. A lot more common than you might think and Its not limited to military deployment either.

Just because it's a lot more common to you does not mean that the poster wanted to arrange that with his wife. He did not mention that he agreed to have his wife be intimate with someone else. In before, you think it's impossible to be intimate without your partner physically for a year.

You meant to write "soon-to-be-ex-wife" right?

You know now that she is unfaithful and you should leave her

Be like my friend who was in the situation and leave her ass

I'm so sorry that this happened, you definitely deserve better. It is not hard to be celibate. My boyfriend is in the army, hes currently away now and will be gone for 8 months. Cheating never crossed my mind.

Had the same experience, I always liked beeing in the army but its really hard for relationships.
