The document details the author's relationship history, including serving in the army for 9.5 years and deploying twice to combat zones. He married his wife Mindy in 2003 and they had a son named Fry in 2004. Recently, his wife and son left him and he discovered through investigating his phone bill that his wife had been communicating frequently by phone and text with another person, exchanging over 1,100 texts and calls in a month. He compiled the call and text data into charts and has fallen into depression since his family left him.
2. I served in the U.S. Army from September of
2000 to March of 2010. (9½ Years)
Mindy and I began speaking on the internet
around February/March 2002.
Mindy flew out to stay in Hawaii with me in
January of 2003. This was our first in-person
meeting.
Mindy and I married in July of 2003.
Our son Fry was born in November of 2004.
3. While I was in the Army, I deployed twice to
combat zones.
◦ Afghanistan, 2004 (7 Months)
◦ Iraq, 2008-09 (1 Year)
Our son Fry was born one week after my return
from Afghanistan.
I spent nearly a year in training between my two
deployments.
Fry was three when I deployed to Iraq, and five
upon my return.
Mindy and Fry left me this past Spring. After
much soul-searching, I decided that I would
attempt courting her once again.
4. I don’t want this to get too boring too
soon, so here are some interesting numbers I
found.
My last phone bill came, and the amount was
considerably higher than I had expected.
◦ Nearly 1,300 SMS text messages sent and received
on Mindy’s account ALONE (on a 200-message
plan)
◦ Over 1,800 minutes used on Mindy’s account
ALONE (on a 550-minute family shared plan)
5. Normally, I don’t snoop. But these numbers
were well outside of the ordinary, so I did
some investigating.
Out of 1,297 text messages sent and
received, 1,128 were to/from one number
(86.97%)
Out of 1,842 minutes used, 1,152 were
to/from the same number (62.54%)
The texts started on September 22nd, and the
calls started on September 29th.
6. My lovely wife has averaged over an hour per
day speaking on the phone to this
person, mostly during late-night hours.
She has averaged over 27 texts sent per
day, and 17 received per day, from the same
number.
Now I know why it was so hard to get her to
agree to do anything with me.

9. Yes, I know it’s sad that I’m putting
unnecessary time and effort into compiling
this, but consider that I’ve been sitting in a
lonely house all Summer missing my family
and I’ve fallen into a deep, nasty depression.
On the plus side, I’m now on twice as many
meds as I was previously. The same stuff
Heath Ledger was on when he was in a similar
situation.
Maybe I can be the next Joker.
