The LBS script: agree with your WAS, take all the pressure off them from their POV.
Quote:
She was unhappy and since she most often felt unhappy at home she decided she needed to leave.
"I agree you are responsible for your happiness and I don't want to spend my time being married to someone who is unhappy all the time."
Quote:
She hasn't forgiven herself for all of the detrimental things she was done to our M, and that tainted her views in our M.
"I agree your affair was detrimental to our marriage and forgiving yourself is key to you being happy again."
Quote:
She wasn't really prepared for all of the work M needs to work. She felt she "wasn't a strong enough person".
"You are right marriage takes work when things aren't going well and a strong person would have found a better way of dealing with the issues."
Quote:
She said I deserve better than her and she thought it was just best to rip the band-aid off.
"Yes, I am the kind of man that won't share his wife. I do deserve the love and respect of a good woman. I think it is best I move on and I will work on getting our D initiated."
Do you think she is expecting to hear any of this from you? It shows you value yourself.
