Well Jesus wept. There are incidences where strong men cry and you went through Boot or OCS and neither is no picnic. Who are they to judge? Wiskey Tango Foxtrot!!?! I've seen Marines cry about things that cut or penetrated deep. Even Chesty at the end of his days expressed doubts of his lot in life as reported in 'Fortunate Son'.

Saying someone cannot show any emotion like a John Wayne movie 'Who never served in the Military' usually is done by cowards who never put themselves in a position to be as brave as someone else tells to be where they may have to face whatever and forge on. Even Pro Boxers can stop and say 'No Mas' without going to Levenworth.

As for calling things like it is calling a donkey a horse does not make you a horse's A$$. Labeling a pile of $hit flower food does not lessen the smell.

My guess you tried MC and other things. Have you got Michelle'book Divorce Remedy? I've been down this road and the hardest thing outside of discovering infidelity was to look myself in the ugly mirror to discover my own warts in a cold analytical manner and methodically work on them. Not to say you have or have not.

It may not fix your Marriage but it sure paves many bumps in the rest of the road in life.

Best wishes Marine
