Do I still love her, yes, more than anything, do I want her back, I can't really say right now. I don't know how I could forgive someone willingly hurting the person they are supposed to love the way she has been and not care about how it impacts the family.
"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 lies 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."

With fruit, with weeds even; but gather them
In the one garden you may call your own."
