I didn't think there would ever come a time with us that she would ever leave. She did. I do wish that she would have, at some point, said to me that she was unhappy to the point that if things didn't improve that she would be leaving. That never happened. I was caught totally off guard when this came about (her saying that she was leaving). I made many mistakes, bad decisions, and behaved badly during the past. I was flat-out wrong. But, I wish that I had a clue that she was unhappy to the point of leaving 'before' she actually left. I own what I did in our past. It's a hard lesson to learn. But I am learning from my mistakes and bad decisions of the past. I just hope that I don't have to pay for them from now on by loosing forever my wife.
