He's in the Army reserves, yes he's probably going to Iraq. And I kind of work for the VA.

That you will spend a lot of time alone. But look at that as a positive. This is the time to use for your self. Also be aware that a lot of the time you will not be his first priority. Sometimes his job comes first. But that doesn't mean he doesn't love you any less.
Hang in there. There will be hard days, but that homecoming makes it all worth it!!!!!
Edit** After reading the other answers....don't pay attention to most of them. If you trust him and he trusts you and your communication is great...then faithfulness will not be an issue. I've been around the military for many many years. Trust and communication is key.

It depends on how well you know the guy and all. Just a fair warning when he gets back from iraq he will go threw a lot of withdrawls and other things. My fiancee is currently serving over in afghanistan and all..he is going threw a lot of issues due to the war and all, but we're hanging in there pretty good.

He can be gone for long periods of time, but home comings are great.
any one who joins the military, and marries some one in the military, now that war may happen. My husband was aboard the USS Cole when she was attacked in Aden, Yemen (Oct. 12, 2000) and we had two small children. We, the US, was not a 'war' in 2000 but being a Navy Vet. and being married to some one in the Navy I always new something could happen because he was in the Military, and like it or not, the military goes to war some times. Thankfully he came home, but if he hadn't I wouldn't be crying out side the White House asking Why. We , my husband and myself already new why and we accepted it.

I guess the one glaring thing is the SEPARATION time. For some women that is difficult to handle. Good luck.
As far as that foul mouth, Barbra Kane (who is an obvious bigot and racist, as well as being borderline illiterate) she was reported. In her profilie she says she got kicked off Q&A. I can see why.

well him going to iraq is a big worry wondering if he is ok not being able to talk to him or see him regularly wondering if he is faithful all the time that he is gone no matter how good or loyal a man is there is always temptation and some men can't handle it. also when he comes back is he still going to fell the same way about you? being over there just does something to your mind and I know alot of married men who have come back to the u.s. and have no interest in their spouses or anything that they enjoyed before

That everything is written in pencil so it can change multiple times. From orders to deployment dates, prepare like it will happen but be ready if the times change. It's most frustrating but once you get a handle on it you'll be OK.

As a former millitary man I can say that most deployed service men have a tendancy to forget that they are supposed to reamin faithful while on deployment
