She Say's She Want's Out Of The Marriage

[tbart01]

Does this seem like an adequate release letter. Please all advice would be welcomed.

Obviously I’ve been doing allot of thinking and allot of individual growing. I’ve had time to reflect on me, you, us, and everything else. I never in a million years imagined that you and I would be going down this road. I truly thought that you and I were forever and could work through anything thrown our way. I still hope that with time you and I will be together again one day.

I am writing you this letter, not to try to change your mind or your feelings, but to just let you know that I understand where you’re coming from and that I get it. I know things haven’t been right for some time now. Our marriage and life hasn’t turned out the way that either of us expected it to. I know we haven’t discussed all the issues yet, but the bottom line is you’re not happy in our marriage and because of that neither am I. Neither of us wants to be in a failing marriage. I want us both to be happy whether we’re together or not.

You have given a huge wake up call and I’m thankful that you did. I’ve been doing allot of self assessing and realized there are many things I need to work on. I now know allot of things I could have done differently. I have learned so much about myself, others, and relationships in general. I have made allot of personal growth through all of this, but I know I still have a long way to go. I still need to address and get help with the trust and jealousy issues. I never wanted you to feel isolated, or smothered in any way. I’m sorry you were my crutch for so many years. However, as I said before I welcome these changes and I acknowledge these things and accept the challenge to try and fix them.

Regardless of what happens with us, I still want to make these changes for me and make these changes permanent. I will support any decision made regarding whether or not we remain together. I will not in any way regret the past 17 ½ years we had together. I will remember and cherish them for the rest of my life. I feel truly blessed to have been able to spend those years with you, and I thank you so much for the two beautiful daughters.

I want nothing but success and happiness for you now and in the future.
