Ok ummmm WOW are you kidding me?? Please say your joking because that is the most ignorant thing iv heard in my life!!! FIRST of all you have absolutely ZERO right to compare 1955 to 2010!!! No, there were not computers and email and pictures and phones BECAUSE most of those things were NOT around yet!!! Secondly back then it was a little more common for a married couple to be seperated for weeks at a time and not just military families but ALL families due to hunting food or working far from the home ect. To break it down for you this means that society back then didn't live in the electronic era and therefor did not know what they were missing because there was nothing to be missed and going weeks on end without seeing your loved one was not such an uncommon thing in those days. So for you to actually sit here and say that "it has to be much easier for separated couples and familes" is just plain ridiculous because we grew up in an era of technology and it is something we know and are quite use to and I promise you IT MAKES ABSOLUTELY NOTHING ABOUT HAVING YOUR HUSBAND DEPLOYED FOR 8 MONTHS ANY EASIER AT ALL!!!!! Furthermore now a days we have cars that can get us from one coast to the other in less than a week, trains and buses even less time than that, and airplanes and boats that can do it in a matter of hours, so therefor again we are in a different time than 1955 and unless you are a military family you prob wont be away from your significant other for more than the average business trip making it harder to accept and deal with long deploys. Beyon that I am fascinated by the fact that you say, "I think there has to be a door open for infidelity to occur", as if it were perfectly acceptable and permissible. What on earth gives ANYONE the idea that it is OK to cheat, and FYI my definition of cheat is as little as a thought or flirt to the obvious sexual intercourse so we are absolutely clear, on there spouse AT ALL much less when they are away PROTECTING YOU AND ME AND SAVING OUR COUNTRY!?!?!?! You should look up the terms homewrecker, divorce, and immoral thoughts and behaviors and you might be surprised to find your name along with whoever asked the, "second most ignorant thing I have heard in my life", question of whether a little innocent flirting was ok while her husband was on deployment. Which BTW the answer to that is NO also because ANY KIND of "Innocent FLIRTING" is NOT INNOCENT at all!! My Goodness what kind of world do we live in today. My husband is deployed with The United States Navy right now and while yes there are many Navy wives who would cheat on their deployed spouses, I would not even give the idea a first thought much less a second. I have an AMAZING and WONDERFUL husband and THAT IS WHY I SAID I DO.......because I meant I DO. If you want to cheat you should have NEVER said I do. Oh yeah and Im sure this thought has prob never crossed your mind either, 2 WRONGS DO NOT MAKE A RIGHT so if your spouse has cheated on you then sorry but that DOES NOT make it morally right for you to even the score!! It does however give you the right to serve his/her sorry a$$ with divorce papers.
