My cheating wife leaves me while I'm on deployed for a toxic bad boy,

then comes crawling back to me with two kids. Here's what happened.

So I'm in the army and I was married. I was approaching my first deployment to Iraq.

It was very stressful and it had my wife wanting me to find a way to stay and not deploy.

Obvious things any wife would try to talk about.

Anyways, so we have no kids but both want them.

So we talk about getting out of debt while I'm gone.

She talks to her best friend back home in another state where we're both from.

Her friend agrees to let her move in and charge a modest 300 in rent so that we can both

get out of debt and start a family when I come back. A plan I was actually very pleased with.

I deploy and she's there crying her eyes out saying she'll miss me and loves me and will

start a family when I get back. Fast forward two months. She starts acting distant,

not wanting to talk much on our scheduled calls or text back one or two word answers.

We've been together six years. She's never at a loss for words.

Anyways, one day she says she needs some space. She asks someone who's 10,000 miles away

for space. I ask why she says she needs space. She says she wants to find herself.

So I remember back when we lived at home, she had a guy who was always being

borderline inappropriate. I'm not a very jealous person and I trust her.

So I start seeing said guy in on basically all of her pictures she posts with a group.

Every time he's in the picture, everyone else changes but never him.

So for the first time, I'm very jealous and uneasy about everything.
