In this episode of Married to the Military, I speak with relationship counsellor and Royal Navy spouse Emily Caddy about the real challenges faced by military couples. We talk about everything from communication breakdowns and reintegration struggles to emotional distance, infidelity, and financial control.
Emily explains what actually happens in relationship counselling, why so many military families haven't heard of the deployment cycle, and how things like jealousy, parenting differences, and even swinging or open relationships can impact trust and connection.
We also explore how couples can recover from issues like cheating or emotional abuse, what to do when one person wants to separate, and how single partners can still benefit from counselling. Whether your relationship is solid or struggling, this conversation is packed with insight, perspective and practical strategies.
