i've been hit with 2x4s but so many vets here when i started and i never got it.
it took me 10 months to finally stop being so angry. i had every right to be angry but at that point, what is being angry going to do? d was going to happen .. angry or not.

fellas, as long as your wife is wearing her ring .. all is not lost. don't give up hope. i know for me, as soon as i took my ring off, i was done. i wasn't going to wait around for someone who clearly did not want to be with me. he was free to go.
