MB.... I know what you mean...by no means am I making excuses for my H but I was so busy with our new baby, and I had postpartum bad I was not there for him in every sense feasible but still no excuse. At one point during the last 2.5 years of this crap, I did sit him down and tell him where I think I failed within our marriage to take responsibility and ownership for those things. I would do that again (but hopefully never have to) point is I don't regret that decision.
