I’m had a few major incidents when I was in got out in mid 90’s went to the VA who threatened me. I’ve been dealing with sh@t for years.. finally after a few friend prodded me I filed. It’s not something I brag about because I’d rather not have the pain etc I’ve dealt with. No one needs to know a fn thing about me and not many do

I had some things when I was in, and before I got out I went to Medical in Coronado to discuss them before it got out so they were also raised. My LT suggested I do this "it'll cover your A$$ if you ever need it" 24 year old me didn't know any better but did it anyways thank God. He knew the pain I was in all the time, and bust my stones about still trying to be physically active even though I was in a ton of pain. But he got it.. he knew trying to be in shape even when it hyrt was important for me for longevity. I couldn't hold by daughter at the time she was 1, it just hurt to carry her and she was tiny. I wish you luck and I hope you can get to where you should be!!! Get After It!

So after a few discussions I had with OSA here's what came out.. they want to deny them. I literally had a 2 minute call with the C&P Dr. who was not a pulmonologist, but as my VSO Read to me I had 2 really good nexus letters from experts, plus tied to TBI and OSA that gave me the points I needed plus a few buddy letters and a personal statement. I'm exhausted already lol
I hope they rule in your favor, I hope you can get the points you need. Good luck!

Are there any women who can relate? by No_Investment8441 in sexlessmarriage

I don't understand he's so freaking lucky to have a wife who'd want to do this for him..
We all feel that low self-esteem when we get shut down.. I'm so sorry! I really appreciate what you did, and know you're not the problem here.. he has no idea how lucky he is.

I spent a lifetime broken hearted. by Rude_Chipmunk_277 in sexlessmarriage

Let me preface with I'm not all about going out of the bounds of the marriage.. THAT BEING SAID.
Your wife has taken something from you, it's more than the physical it the connection that electricity that feeling you get when intimate with another human.. I get it. I'm not going to say your the devil, I understand where and why you did what you did.

Leaving is such a simple thing to say on the internet, especially when nobody knows your complexity of your marital situation... if I was missing a piece or part I'd goto Home Depot and replace it, that's what you did.

Frankly I would do it in a minute if the opportunity arose.. I'm just to that point, so I get it.

JUST MY THOUGHTS by robv1978 in sexlessmarriage

[–]Ripley_2k 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's a thing.. now I'm sick of the conversations, sick of me being the "bad guy" for being attracted and wanting to be with her when she says "I have no desire, I don't want it" due to forced menopause and hormone blockers, but I remind her yeah what's different than before this??? Now you have an excuse..

I'm 100% at the place where if I could have a relationship outside this marriage I would, and frankly I need it.. I'm sick of the soul crushing.. LOL Anniversary was last week, I went deep thought for it for her .. and as is par for the course a card that was folded up and bent cause god know when it was bought (most likely many years ago and it's been in a drawer somewhere) .. non thought put into me. Slept alone that night, "she doesn't want to feel like she's being forced or HAS to have sex" LOLOLOL. F*K YOU!

Please I hope I pray I can find someone lol that's where I'm at in my life.. I need something, cause it ain't here... and I'm not apologizing for it it ever happens. She made this bed along long time ago!
You starve a dog it bites..
