Feel free to use it freely, as though it was your own! Congratulations, Dave. I NEVER got my wife to apologize or say she was sorry for ANYTHING in 21 years, so I would not expect her to start now. When I mentioned that to her, she just turned it around saying "See...further proof we're no good for each other".
That's a positive that your W. not only saw that, but ADMITTED it. My W. can never put herself in a vulnerable position. Never has. She wanted to be taken care of, but was like a cactus, never allowing me to do anything for her, and when I did, of course, it came with a list of 15 things to improve on.
Good first step, though. be strong, confident, and move on!
