And gutwrenching, pookie69, re: figuring out what went wrong and how I can become a better person...
Full steam ahead there. I have had a really tough time with intimacy... difficult for me to get close with people on a long term basis. I have found a therapist to help me with this and she has been incredible. Didn't realize how much I was protecting myself even in my own marriage. No wonder he felt lonely. He knows I am seeing her/working on this. He asked who it was I was seeing re: therapy etc. I did not put it out there... let him do the investigating.
Even if he never gives our marriage a second chance, I will be a whole lot stronger after this experience.
