"It was nice to see you as well. I have given a lot of thought to what you have said and how I feel. I will always love you and I do not regret that we got married. I truly thought it was the best decision at the time. However, I am not sure we are meant to be married and I hope that we can be friends and that we never hold hate in our hearts for one another. I have forgiven you and working on forgiving myself for the pain I have caused myself and those who cared for me during those chaotic moments I had.[MAYBE THAT WAS ME????] I know that you tried to do the best and I tried to deal with my identity crisis. I am not sure I did my best, but[b] I did not try to deliberately hurt you or your family. I am trying to move past my past and make better choices. I hope you do as well. I believe that you will find your way and you will have the life you have always dreamed of... YOU do deserve it. So in saying that, I think we should go forward with signing the papers and moving forward. I love you and Dog (he will always be the BEST puppy in the world to me), take care and I will look for your email. Have a nice holiday weekend and be careful. W"
END OF REPRINT
I reprinted this so I could look at it again.
It has been suggested to me that W has not sHut the door. I admit I saw it too.
But
I don't see her recognizing the pain her actions caused me or any asking of foriveness.
Don't get me wrong I am not one of those that needs the score leveled.
But if you don't offer it? If you don't see your part in causing your partner pain no matter how justifed you felt you were ...
Well that is just not me. That means I can expect even less in the future.
Not knocking her...
Also not volunteering to be knocked either.
Up to me. I dictate the terms under which I will willfully walk through the mine field again.
My goal is to some day be the person my dog thinks I am
