Antonia -
In some ways you might have a point. I've struggled with this "owning up" to my part because 3 years ago when we got into marriage counseling after I found his second phone I really had to own my contribution. Everyone thought I should have left him then - but I felt like I needed to accept my part and make changes. So I've spent the past 3 years working on these areas only to have him leave. We separated for a week back then but then he came back after a week - ready to work. In hindsight I don't know if it was the fact that he was "caught' and not ready to own up to his problems. Anyway, I work and have faith that we are really developing a better relationship and then he drops the bomb. It's a real trouble area for me!
