Alone in Uniform

I've been married to my husband for five years now. We moved to a new base three months ago, and it's felt different here. I miss the closeness we had before; things feel distant now. Last week, after another lonely night with him sleeping on the couch due to work stress, I let a soldier from our unit buy me drinks at the PX bar. It was just one drink that turned into more, nothing happened beyond some hugging and touching, but it felt like an escape from my loneliness. Now, whenever he's not around, I find myself wondering what would happen if I took another step with someone else.
