Oh FIB, my friend, stop beating yourself up. You went above and beyond to try and save your marriage. You gave it your all and then some.

There really was absolutely nothing else you could have done. Find solace in that fact.

FIB, there is nothing else to be done but for you to live well with the same honor and dignity you have shown throughout this.

Listen to me, you did your best, you tried your hardest, and I know you are beating yourself up wondering why is wasnt enough.

Your wife is broken, she is lost and she is on a path that she must follow, and you cannot fix it for her.

Please be good to yourself and your children. Remember that you are a great father and a good person. And one day, you will be happy again. You will be.
