Marriages Ending as Deployments Are Extended

As an Infantryman in the US Army I truly cannot say what it's like for my wife back home. I'm on my third deployment to Iraq since 2004. Her and I have a son, a new born girl and 2 dogs. My wife is also very tough; she had to get a C-Section and that night she had a friend sign her out of the hospital to get back to taking care of the house. I know that getting shot at previously and blown up makes life difficult, but I have to say that I respect woman like my wife. I haven't had to worry about anything extra in my life back home.
