Thanks, BeingMe. The real reason I need to look at my part of the failed marriage is because I will just repeat the same mistakes over and over until I figure out what they are and how to avoid them. And I need to be brutally (but kindly) honest with myself about that. I think we all need to do that, as part of our healing. To place 100% of the responsibility outside myself would be to do what my H has done--which has had terrible ripple effects for many people. And I'm better than that.
