"  &amp;quot;I never imagined you and I, out of all the people in this world, would go through something so devastating as we did,&amp;quot; Anthony D&amp;#039;Ambrosio, 29, writes for Asbury Park Press. In an intimate letter to his ex-wife entitled, &amp;quot;I wish I would have held you tighter,&amp;quot; D&amp;#039;Ambrosio describes feelings of pain, disbelief and disillusionment that are all too familiar to anyone who has gone through the pain of divorce.  RELATED: The Hard Stuff: &amp;quot;He Has A Scary Ex-Wife!&amp;quot; What&amp;#039;s most poignant is often the little idiosyncrasies that make a partner so special, the ones you feel you never got to fully appreciate or express enough gratitude for while you were together. D&amp;#039;Ambrosio lists of all these:  &amp;quot;Remember all the times you yelled at me when I was looking at you? You&amp;#039;d ask me why, and I would either laugh or get angry because you had this &amp;#039;sass&amp;#039; about you. You know what? I looked at you because I thought you were the most beautiful thing in the world. I didn&amp;#039;t care what you were wearing\u2014whether you had makeup on. I&amp;#039;d look at you and get lost in your laugh and your smile. Whatever flaws you believed you had, I loved\u2014how you&amp;#039;d look in the mirror and always suck in your stomach; How you always analyzed every picture we took together and made me delete them, nine times out of ten; how you&amp;#039;d pace around on the phone when you were nervous. Or how about how you hated to be on video? I noticed everything. But I loved it.&amp;quot; RELATED: The Letter This Mom Wrote To Her Ex-Husband&amp;#039;s New Wife Will Make You Cry He describes the proposal and the wedding, but doesn&amp;#039;t get into the reasons the marriage split up, though, in many ways, it doesn&amp;#039;t matter. To D&amp;#039;Amborsio, what&amp;#039;s important is that he doesn&amp;#039;t feel any regret: &amp;quot;I&amp;#039;m disappointed we never got to finish writing our happily ever after, but I&amp;#039;ll never be angry. I&amp;#039;ll never hate you, and I&amp;#039;ll never be dishonest about my emotions. God gave me this amazing opportunity to love. It brought me to so many beautiful places, taught me so much about life and gave me memories I&amp;#039;ll cherish forever. How can I ever be angry about that?&amp;quot; &amp;quot;If I knew then what I know now, I would have held you tighter during our first dance and picked a song that never ended,&amp;quot; he writes toward the end.  The letter, which has quickly gone viral, has received mixed reactions on Facebook.  RELATED: Exes Have &amp;#039;Uncoupling&amp;#039; Ceremony on the Beach Instead of Divorcing Some have praised D&amp;#039;Ambrosio&amp;#039;s honesty, like one user who wrote, &amp;quot;Wow. That&amp;#039;s what you call pouring your heart out! I think most women would love to have a similar story written to them, with a happy ending of course.&amp;quot; Others are more cynical, citing his bio at the bottom of the letter: &amp;quot;Anthony D&amp;#039;Ambrosio works for Apple Inc. in Bridgewater and is currently single.&amp;quot; As one user commented, &amp;quot;This guy wrote this so all the other ladies would see what a &amp;quot;great&amp;quot; guy he is now that he is single. Guarantee you that he hasn&amp;#039;t had a problem getting a lady since this was published.&amp;quot; Others find him sincere, but the overall clich\u00E9s of divorce tedious. As one user wrote, &amp;quot;Same old story. A man marries a woman and expects her to stay the same, never change by getting older or fat. A woman marries expecting the man to change into her dream of what she wants him to be.&amp;quot; What do you think? Is this a case of too little, too late?
