On top of all of this I see that I have caused her a lot of pain and I feel like I let her/us down.


Q9,

It is normal to feel this way. Please talk to your IC about thoughts like this. Meds can help stabilize/calm you so that you can get through this.

In the early days, it is also quite common to assume all the blame for the breakdown of the M. You did let her down, but not nearly as much as you think you did. Be rest assured, at this point, your W is more than happy to have you accept ALL the blame for the failure of the M. The more you take responsibility, the less she has to.

She is currently in fantasy land, where she's just a helpless victim and is in no way responsible for any of this. Don't be so quick to shoulder the entire responsibility for the demise of the M. It took both of you to get to where you are today.
