It's the story of 2 lives destroyed by distance, infidelity and loneliness. Happens far to often

not to mention guilt, it's a powerful emotion.

This happened far too often. My father had a similar experience during his short marriage during WW2. He returned to the states and while he was in a mess hall in New Jersey after returning, before he was released, his wife walked in and announced she wanted a divorce. He was so floored that she was gone before he questioned why she was there, not where they lived in Missouri. Short version is that he went to college, met my mother who was a war widow, and several years later I came along.

Speaking as a faithful, former military spouse (my husband retired after he did his 20) The problem with a lot of reactions to this video is that many people don't take the era in which this is set into account. Now, if you marry a soldier you know what you are getting into (or should) but this is set during the war when men were drafted. Its possible that this was the case for the main character and because she didn't set out to marry a soldier, coping was not something she was capable of or prepared for. I've seen a lot of this over the years. Spouses think they can take it, and after a year or two separated from their soldier and stationed far away from any family or friends, the loneliness gets to them and they just can't take it anymore. I've also seen it in reverse, where the spouse is completely faithful but it's the soldier that steps outside the marriage. The bottom line is it takes a great deal of strength to love a soldier. Some spouses have it and some, simply, don't. It's not a flaw, not really. Just some people aren't predisposed to handling the loneliness that can come with being a military spouse. Either way, cheating is not ok. But even I can understand her point of view, how she felt. I felt it. I think every military spouse has felt it at least once. It's what you do about that feeling that matters.

I said it earlier, that whenever couples watch this video, it seems that the women come down harder on the wife than the men do. They hate her for what she did, it seems the guys are more forgiving.

As a veteran I seen this a lot and it's sad.. has happened to me as well so I know the pain

Rick Schroder (the guy in the video) directed the music video himself...He is one of the biggest child tv actors of the late 70s to mid 80s. He started in a great movie from 1979 called "The Champ". Its a must see. He also starred with Brad Pitt in another movie called "Across The Tracks" from the 1990s. Another must see. He was also the star of one of the most popular tv shows of the 1980s "Silver Spoons". He was also in so many awesome network made for tv movies & great in every one. He was also on the popular 90s early 2000s show "NYPD BLUE"...Just a great underrated actor.

Man. Alison is the "angel" of country music. I think my favorite of hers is called "jacobs dream" theres hardly any reactions to it. Hey yall. Please do that one.

I feel that she made the mistake from feeling lonely, doesn't excuse it, but does give her some valid empathy. Plus if you consider when you truly feel bad for something you have done wrong, you are harder on yourself than anyone else can be, hence the going to substance abuse.

No it doesn’t. As someone who has gone though it. It is no reason. Because I promise you he was just as if not lonelier. Like Jesus Christ oh feel bad for her because he was gone. Yeah he gone was also 🙄 no sympathy for cheaters that goes for men also. I don’t wanna hear you cry about how you lonely you are so you cheated.

I've seen it many times. Still get a lump.

Lots of PTSD on that bus.

One of the few songs i can listen to made since 2000

This was set in WWII and communication was not always quick and so it is highly likely that the woman's character thought that he was gone or for a moment she fell in to Temptation because she was a lonely woman and they didn't have telephone calls back then they only had letters and he could have been deployed and been gone for years. I was a military wife when this song came out and it was devastating because I watched my friends who had communication capabilities cheat on their spouses while their husbands were deployed with mine and it was so get wrenching. I cannot watch this video without sobbing though.

I did 20 yrs in the US Navy. You would not believe how many times that happens when returning from being deployed.

"I am sorry, but I can not be in a relationship with somebody in the service". That's the only thing women like her need to say. Sure, it hurts, and it sucks, but better than scenarios like that.

He stood in the doorway and saw that she was unfaithful. But at the same time, all people make mistakes. She made a mistake she regretted all her life. Do not make her a bad person. Had poor judgment that day perhaps? Like their reaction. 😀 Greetings from Norway.

Great gees... To love somebody

No one knew how much she blamed herself? Who else could she blame? That having been said, I was serving in places where she could not go with me. I was gone to a location overseas where she had no idea what i was doing or when i might return--I was gone for over a year. I came home from my duty station to have to tell her I would be missing supper because i was leaving within two hours. I could not tell her what country I would be in, what I would be doing, or when i would be back. I cannot imagine the fear that must have gripped her heart every time I was gone. The nightmares her imagination must have created in the absence of real info must have been terrible to live with. I would not have blamed her for seeking someone to just hold her and assure her everything would be alright.

If you like brad paisley , there are 2 good songs by him you should listen to. One will make you laugh and the other one will ptobably make you cry. The one that will probably make you laugh is Little moments And the one that will probably cry is He didnt have to be. Both good songs. Ok. Its my bedtime. I will talk to you in the morning. Good night and God bless.

True story. The tombstones reveal the couple was Richard and Katherine Bartlett. Richard was born in 1916 and Katherine was born in 1919.

Happens in about half of all military marriages. Ask a vet who Jody is.

Those kids are the guy in the video's kids.

If your spouse dies in action, two officers in uniform will deliver the letter to you.

Nobody ever thinks of the woman waiting every day for the news that her màn was killed

happens every damn day in the military.. i remember i was in a bar one night and word had just come down that our unit was leaving for iraq in 4 days, we were gonna be the first unit deployed, so everyone had 4 days to do whatever.. 400 people in that sports bar and the dj stopped the music and announced the uss ike had just pulled into port 3 days early.. 50 women raced out of that bar and all we could think was “well i guess those married women were out to get dick right before hubby got home”... EVERY DAMN DAY I SAW STUFF LIKE THAT.. crazy

Brooks and Dunn - Believe

The little girl in the video is Ricky Schroeder’s daughter.

This song was released in 2003 so it is not all that old. Older Country would be Johnny Cash, George Jones, Tammy Wynette, Conway Twitty, Loretta Lynn, Patsy Kline, Willie Nelson, George Strait, Kenny Rogers, Dolly Parton etc... Brad Paisley is newer, but still in the older country style, but Brad is not a one trick pony as he does sad songs, love songs fun songs and stuff in between. Btw Alison Krauss is featured on this song with Brad and everyone seems to miss that or ignore it.

Awesome reaction. You should also react to Dimash Kudaibergen, a singer from Kazakhstan. I would suggest you should check him out too.

The 21 gun salute, and flag ? Any veteran can request a military funeral - !

She did thought he got killed, she move on, which some will, I feel bad for both of them.

somethings can be talked over they both loved each other but decided to go for hiding behind booze and wasted life.. eventhou some wrongs could have been forgotten since there was difficult circumstances

What bothered me about the video at the beginning was where the bus pulled up and drove off with a sound that could be heard from the bedroom. And also where he walked in and the door being noisy and footsteps on the stairs and hall... I honestly thought that was bad directing ideas.

Unfortunately this happens more times than you can count. We have a name for those that wait for the ones we leave behind when we deploy / go to basic they're called Jodie. I've seen it happen too many times from both sexes. It happened to me but thankfully at a support group who helped me get on my feet and then to let to my wife and my son. But that being said I want you to react to little feat fat man in the bathtub

She told him go fight come back and we can start a family he gets home and finds her in bed with another man she knew he was drinking himself into oblivion she walked in the bar while he was in there drunk in a red dress then after he finally drinks himself to death she blames herself and she does the exact same thing to herself knowing rumors about her were flying around the town she finally drinks herself to death so that they can be together once again

If this doesn’t make you cry...you have no soul! Just sayin! He’s actually a WW II Veteran. Really guys! What the hell you watching...you all are a little slow on the uptake! She didn’t think he got killed in combat...she fell into sin...PERIOD! Do you get the little girl in the end, or did that go over your collective heads...it was the daughter they would have had.

Unfortunately this still goes on today. A man that touches a woman who's husband is deployed isn't a real man. If there's a angelic vioce on this earth it's Allison Krause. Try reacting to long black limousine by Keith Whitley

George Jones--He stopped loving her today.

I know I like your reaction but when you're talking about old country got to go to old country stars I am a disabled Vietnam veteran I was hit three times and drugged out of the bush buy a very good friend I don't know if I can say his name when he was dragging me out of the Bush he was hit in the back of the head and he died in my arms would you please honor my Fallen Brothers with Big and Rich the 8th of November thank you
