I'm going through something similar. It's hard knowing if you're doing the "right thing" or not.

What I've learned is that it's impossible to always do the best possible thing every instant. Just accept that you will mess up occasionally and move on and do better next time.

I've also realized that there's not magic formula that will fix everything in one day. I think in DR it said that it would take at least one month for every year of marriage. I've realized that one e-mail or phone call or conversation will not fix it all and bring my wife back. Instead, it's going to take time and many, many conversations - if at all.

At the very least, you're working on you and that's a good thing.
