Wife, I understand how you feel about our past. I also understand very clearly your scars and hurts. I accept total responsibility for that and I am both sorry and aware of what I have done to you and our family. Given a second chance I would spend the rest of my life making it up to you. If you believe that divorce will make you happy then I accept that. I cannot stop you from divorcing me, but know that I want you and our family back.
Sincerily,
antlers
