Going straight forward...antlers 5th thread.

OK, I've taken in a lot of helpful information from you folks and I've come up with a response to her last E-mail, and I'd like to run it by you folks before I send it...

"Hi Wife.

This is healthy communication, something I'm working on. If something is not clear, I have a responsibility to bring it up, so we'll both know and be clear on it.

How many nights were we in Colorado in June? Why did I come back from Colorado when I did? Not rhetorical, I really want to know from you why I did that? How many nights were the kids with you after we came back from Colorado? How many nights were we in Texas? Are the kids going with me anywhere the last week of July?

Wife, you are right in that I hadn't been a 50/50 person with you in the past , and it had always been more my side than your side. You were always the giver and I was a taker. I was wrong for that, and apologize, and completely understand why you feel that way, and I don't blame you.

I will make other plans for myself when the kids have Back to School Registration and Camp Turning Point.

Our kids need time with both you and I. They love us both, and need us both."

Alright. How 'bout some feedback from you good folks? Any advice/criticism/ideas/opinions/examples/etc. would be greatly appreciated!


ps - I didn't even address her saying I was still selfish and always trying to make myself look better than her.
