I will always be sorry for how I've hurt her emotionally in the past and I've apologized for that.


^ delete, you have said sorry already. Time to stop reminding her.

I know that regardless of the path that we head down we will always have a relationship because of our kids.

I feel we will both need to be able to let go our anger/resentment to make sure we have a relationship where our kids will always feel loved by both parents.


^ Reminding her again about her anger/resentment and telling her she needs to let it go (controlling).

How about this:

"Even though I wont be able to remain friends with you if you choose to leave, I know we will still need to have contact for the sake of the kids. All I ask is that no matter what happens, we treat each other with respect and set a good example for them."

Something like that, may someone else can chime in.
