I like your statement. Sounds like recognizing some of your contributions to the problems, taking responsibility and showing remorse, without a hint of groveling.
I agree with Forrest about the part in bold.
I also wonder if there is a way to work in that not only have you rediscovered who you were, but you are even better now because you have grown and learned from this experience.

What is the hurt that you cover up with contempt for your H?
Deal with the hurt, and you will find that you will be better able to keep your emotional balance regardless of what he throws at you.
There is nothing more deadly to a relationship than contempt. Even if you don't say anything contemptuous, it will be communicated.
