luvflower Posted April 24, 2012 Posted April 24, 2012 I do understand how infidelity may be high in marriages where people are required to be away from home a lot like military, cops, and entertainers even...but not just on the man's behalf. When wives don't see their husbands and they have needs to be met, im sure plenty of wives have extramarital affairs... If this is not desireable why isn't the training for law enforcent and military providing more family coping skills and time with families to avoid the breakdown of families and ultimately humanity as a whole,especially when people aren't staying together due to their job demands or lack of ability to be emotionally available to their families. Its really sad. Yes people are who they are regardless of their jobs but my best friend never cheated until her ex fiancée worked as a sheriff. He was never home and became distant when he got stressed from work. so ...there was a "maintenance man" who gave her the love and attention that her fiancée wasn't giving her (when she was 37 yrs old...) Is this what men want? Your wives& girlfriends to get that love&attention from other men? If not then people need to try harder to take care of their families and so called loved ones...there's always someone waiting in the wings...
january2011 Posted April 24, 2012 Posted April 24, 2012 I'm not sure about law inforcement (my impression is that any groups that exist are informal) but the US Army has Family Readiness Groups (FRGs) that offer training and support. I believe the US Marines and US Airforce also have similar groups.
threebyfate Posted April 24, 2012 Posted April 24, 2012 As if the demands of military and law enforcement careers of the men, are a secret to their girlfriends and wives. It's like dating a paramedic and being upset that he works 12 hours a day, leaving them with less time together. Ladies, give your heads a shake. If you want these guys, then suck it up. If you're unwilling to put up with their time away from you, find men in different careers. No one's forcing anyone to have a relationship or marry them.
manup Posted April 24, 2012 Posted April 24, 2012 According to military wives who are faithful, women who stray often have little going for themselves. If you want to be faithful, communicate with your spouse often, moving near family if you have kids is a good idea, and have something to fill you schedule. Get a job, go back to school etc...

People know what these professions require so they can make the choice. It is no excuse to cheat.
