Brian has no kids in the m, but you do.


Why must you be so specific in your apology? Why not own that you should have handled stress better, not been so critical and maybe specifically mention the porn and say that it had nothing to do with her attractiveness (so you are inserting a compliment into the letter while owning a piece of bad behavior that won't cost you custody).


Any physical outburst will hurt you in custody matters. Talk to your L BEFORE sending this but let your L know you'd love a recon, ideally.

Just mo.

Since you hold her responsible for zero problems in the m, and that means you lost your temper irrationally for no reason, along with "NEVER" helping her out "unless forced" and a lot of other "all or nothing" comments, I would guess it's a memory. And a bit of a distorted one too...

but kudos for a brave look at your behavior.

Just mo.

Brian:

I am glad you got it out and that your ex-wife responded positively.

This also tells me that i should own up to my mistakes to wife. I guess i'll tell her instead of writing them.

I mailed a straight-forward letter to my wife yesterday (so, she'll probably get it on Monday) just mentioning my regrets over porn (the only specific thing in the letter), how I should've been more honest instead of being caught up in porn, how I should've handled stress better, should've learned how to listen, express, handle stress better, treated my wife more as an equal, and how I should have owned my decisions, even the wrong ones.

I hand-wrote it, and as 25 suggested, kept the specifics to a minimum. I ended the letter with: "If I had to do it all again, I would do it all so differently."

Brian, thanks for your post on my sitch. I mentioned before that reading your letter is one of the reasons I finally posted on the forum.

Your letter is creating alot of activity in your thread too - in a good way smile

My reason for posting the letter on this forum was to hopefully help others learn from my mistakes. So I am very glad if it helped you in any way.

It might still be too early to tell (it's been 5-days), but I don't think, or was expecting, the letter I sent my wife made a difference. Refer to my latest post in my main thread for more fun facts.
