veggy...
I've been following your thread with interest. You've brought up some good points about what folks back home are dealing with...thank you for that.
Jmo, but yes he is trying to protect you in his own way.
But he may also be trying to protect himself.
It's good that you understand he has got to focus on his present situation, and not too much on back home. Your cheating on him is most likely the last thing on his mind...
Pre-Deployment takes as much out of a soldier as post deployment does; just in a different way. Triple those affects if there is little time between deployments...
Another counselor may be of great help to you...please don't discount therapy because of the actions of this one.
Perhaps concentrating, for right now, on your anxiety and anger will ease this painful time for you.
My best wishes,
Catherine
