I found this on Gardener's thread also...

Keep telling yourself that you can heal from this.

You are a good person.

No one deserves to be abandoned.
Nothing you did warranted this kind of
treatment from the woman who promised
to love you.

The issue is within your wife.
It is a flaw in her that has caused
her to walk out on you.
You do deserve better treatment.

It is better to be alone and happy
than to be with someone who
would choose to leave you."
