Thanks guys. What an interesting journey. The pain associated with her decision, thinking about the kids, and now the pain of my own soul searching - all while trying to detach, move on and GAL. It's almost unbearable some days. I'm surprised I even am able to get out of bed.

I get the point of more of the same and so want to be carefule here. Things are pretty cold right now and the only real communication happens while the kids are around. But of all of the things I've apologized for to her over our history together this seems like a truly important one. For now, I'm trying to draft my feelings, but the urge to tell her is quite strong.
