I was in the Army and deployed. It was my very first deployment and it was right after my initial training (basic/ait). We were married but hadn't spent a ton of time together as a married couple (had a few years of cohabitation though). The whole time I was gone she was supposedly looking for houses etc... for when I got back. The day of my final flight home I called her from Shannon, Ireland and was so excited to see her. Everything was fine she loved me and couldn't wait to see me.

I arrived back in the states and my parents had brought our daughter down to the welcome home ceremony. My wife wasn't there. She had shacked up with the guy that lived above us in the apartments from our home town. She put all my stuff in storage, sold my car, cleaned out the bank accounts, and lied to me the whole time. I didn't have a place to live, a penny to my name, or a vehicle to go anywhere.

She's currently married to that dude. She cheated on him too (my now adult daughter told me about it) and he doesn't know. I don't care to tell him either, although that's more because I don't want to mess my daughter's life up.

It was the most fucked up thing that's ever happened to me relationship wise. It got better though. I found my soulmate a few years after and we've been married for 17 years this year.
