From my experience the ones that have a good relationship are still faithful to their spouses even when they are stationed away from their spouse. The same goes for their spouses. If they fool around while they are away then they are just as likely to fool around while their spouse is living with them. After you are married distance, travel, or anything for that matter else does NOT gives you license to cheat.

I don't think the person who is training has time to cheat, but stationed maybe. Unfortunately this can be true for those left at home to waite for the one in the military (not all, though). There was a neighbor on my block that would have practically a new man over every night while her husband was deployed. Which of courese I think is Bull Sh!t. The divorce ratestatistics in the country is the highest among military couples because the one in is gone so much. It just takes a certain type of person to be "married to the military". Personally, I don't see why I should be getting any while my hubby is gone off fighting for our country's freedom and not getting any himself. Besides, the only man I want to make it with is the one I'm in love with, it's the best that way.

Sadly, the military provides more opportunities for would-be cheaters, making it seem like there is more infidelity in the service than with civilian relationships. I've known lots of military couples and I myself was married to a serviceman and in the military. Some of the couples had trouble with infidelity, some didn't. In my case, it was simply that my husband had the tendency to be a cheater, (i.e. he was flirty with every girl he met, liked to brag about sexual conquests, cheated on a girlfriend when he went to college, etc.) and being stationed 6000 miles away just gave him the extra push by making him feel as though he would never get caught and was justified because he was so lonely. In other cases, it was the pressure of being the only married person in a group of single people pressuring that person and promising to "not tell the wife, wink, wink". Bottom line, a cheater is a cheater, and there are plenty of non-military jobs where people are away from their spouse and feel the need to spread their seed somewhere it doesn't belong.

Yes, they know that the other half will have no way to find out, and alot of military people get married just to get BAH or other benifits. I have heard storys of female military personelle on ships being caught with thousands of dollars in checks under their mattresses, (because of the whole supply demand issue). Also, the half left behind is usually just as bad. This is the source of nasty diseases, and they love being dirty! I bet they have the nerve to wonder where that nasty case of herpies came from?! The only people who don't are the ones that have seen co workers in the above scenerios and learned from their mistakes. There have been cases of HIV that went undetected and when the military person got home... passed it to their spouse and childeren. lots of other STDs can be passed to family members! so tell your military person to wrap it up! It's the least they could do.
The ones with good relationships do work it out and are usually faithfull. The reason that the military is singled out is because you have young people, and the male to female ratio is drastic in difference.

For starters a spouse or loved one came cheat anywhere... I was in the Military for 6 years...I was with a guy for 7 years (2 years before and 4 years will I served the USA) a couple of months before i got back from Iraq he wrote to me saying that he was no longer going to be there for me when i got back not to bother him cause he couldn't take it any more...(it HURT) but oh well.. so the Lucky lady that is enjoying my left overs is my own Cousin! So the answer to your question would be that if its not meant to be it doesn't matter if your in the military or if you work at Jack in the Box....It Happens ANYWHERE!

It really does depend on the person... But I'm a military spouse and I have not cheated although I know that alot of the other couples on base have cheated while their significant other was away... It's sad... But It is hard to be with someone and have them up and get shipped off for 4 moths to a year... That does suck... But As long as you truly love the one your with you wont do anything....

The same precentage of people cheat on their spouse reguardless. The military doesn't own any special part of the pie.

That's not a fair question. I don't think that the military has any greater tendency towards infidelity than the non-military sector of society.
It isn't a matter of being in the military that makes you cheat, it is a function of the individual personality that makes one faithful or unfaithful.
