My cell phone is dying so I've been frantically transcribing all H's text messages on to my computer (I have an old, old cell).
I found this long book of a text that my H sent me on March 7 - a month after he walked out.

If no-one minds I'd like some thoughts on it:

"I want to be alone right now I know this is difficult and you can’t/don’t understand why this happened but you should at least realize that you played some part in this you seem to think this is something I’m going through but you are a big part of this and I think this is just another example of you not being able to see past yourself…. You just it as me with the problem not you and I am doing this to you. I don’t think you are a horrible person …. Maybe just not the person who I want to share the rest of my life with…. To me it just felt like I was never important enough to you that you would want to make any changes in our lives and our relationship…. I always wanted more but you weren’t willing the fact that you are willing to change things now just doesn’t seem sincere. This probably seems selfish but I need to think of myself right now. I can honestly say I had been unselfish in our relationship till now can you say the same? I don’t know how this situation is going to end but I’m not rushing anything at this point
Sorry you are having a hard time with this you need to keep busy to keep your mind off of this. Calling me right now is not going to accomplish anything "
