What happens in.....Iraq?

I was recently talking to a friend of mine about my favorite subject...Yep, you guessed it, David! I was sharing some of my insecurities about David being faithful while he is deployed and my friend said that I should just treat it like Vegas. What happens in Iraq, stays in Iraq. I was flabbergast at that way of thinking. Yes, if David cheated on me while he was away I may never know but that does not mean that it will stay in Iraq. I believe that  peoples actions are carried with them, whether they be good or bad. I believe that if David OR I were to do something hurtful while he is deployed then that action would be carried within us and when he got home it would effect our relationship. Things would change because a guilty conscious would change someone's behavior. What happens anywhere does not stay there, it stays in your heart, mind and conscious. The best thing David and I could do for us and our relationship is to be faithful, loyal, trusting, open and honest. Temptation is everywhere, learning to not give in to it and to try to avoid it sometimes is hard. Especially, I think, for David because he is around some....immature guys who like to pressure David into things. We both need to be strong enough to stand up for our relationship, beliefs and ourselves.

OK, climbing off my soap-box now! :)
