I'm a Seabee wife. Deployments are hard, there's no doubt about it. I know thinking about home and missing her hurts but it's not all bad. Stay focused on your job, remind yourself of why you are there every day. Work out, come up with a time consuming hobby. Work on bettering yourself and others around you. Mentor your younger troops. Study for advancement tests and other achievements. Write home and call home but don't dwell on home. Your job is to love her and to come home to her alive. Oh and don't listen to that crap about cheating. I've been a Seabee significant other in some form or another for 7 years and I've never even considered cheating. Not all spouses cope by running into someone else's arms. You don't need that crap in your head, it's not good for you. So stay strong and trust that she will too. Stay safe and best wishes.

It is normal for you to feel this way, especially being far away from your wife and home. You never can keep your mind off of home because I really think that, that is what keeps you going. Having your wife and family on your mind a lot should keep you going and keep you alive. Your wife is someone you can look forward to coming home to. (smile) So, in order to come closer to getting to your wife and home, you need to first focus to why you are there in Iraq and that is to serve your country and fight the enemy. And I am sure that your wife would want you home, but she probably also wants you to focus and win this war so you can come home to make your thoughts come to reality.
Hope this helps. I also want to thank you and the many men and women who are out there fighting this war in Iraq. May God be with you and protect you always. Thank you for fighting for our Freedom!

Work work work, distract distract distract. Exercise--healthy and gets endorphines flowing. Perhaps keeping a journal on what you're doing in Iraq will help keep you focused more on work than home. Any way you look at it it's going to be tough, but you're a military guy--you can do tough blind-folded with your arms tied behind your back! Focus on work while you're at work. When you get home you can give all your attention to your new bride. Thanks for your service and best of luck to you!

My belief is that thinking of home and the ones you love is what keeps you going strong. My brother in Iraq says that he is better off never to stop thinking about home because it gives him more encouragement, strength, and something to live for.

Being in the military several years myself, I can say it is almost a guarantee that your spouse is cheating or will cheat on you. Focus on your mission and keep yourself alive. Don't worry there are plenty of good women out there.

Go murder some people. Er I mean, liberate people from the confines of life. That's your job isn't it?
