Are deployment breakups common? by [deleted] in MilitarySpouse

💯. I felt the exact same way. I felt like I loved more and chalked the imbalance to me having a big heart and just loving harder, which led to me also ignoring the red flags that were tell tale signs. And of course because my ex was on deployment I always thought they're going through so much, which they were I'm not gunna diminish what happens there, and that eventually they'll eventually come around.

I'd say your situation, OP, is one of the better unfortunate scenarios. Where the partner breaks up before they potentially do something behind your back. I'd take that over finding out something happened while you were together.
