Ok, I know there’s plagiarism involved however this is important correspondence, it’s how I feel and it’s what I would like to convey! Before I respond I would value additional editing, changes, etc… I don’t want to wordsmith it to death but sometimes minor changes can make a difference.


Thanks for your note.

From a financial standpoint I think it’s important for me to take the room fairly quick. I will be able to visit our dog regularly regardless of where he goes. I will be just fine and my end goal is to eventually have a place that will accommodate the dog.

I understand and appreciate that financial security is very important to you. I know that our financial problems made you feel unsafe in our marriage and I am sorry for that. It wasn't a comfortable place for me either, and I don't think I could return to our former situation.

In terms of what I'm thinking about us, I want my family and my wife to be together, I want an intact family for our kids. I understand that we cannot go back to how we were living and I appreciate that. I am making it my highest priority to turn around our financial situation, and I am committed to doing what it takes. I realize that talk is cheap, and that our financials can't be turned around overnight. I had some growing up to do in this regard, and I'm sorry things had to get this bad to make me see it.

You’ve mentioned the communication has been minimal. It’s difficult for me to know where to start sharing my feelings. Do you have any suggestions on how the both of us might get that conversation to work more easily? I understand the problem too and I want to know what you can suggest to make it better?

In any case, I would be happy to talk to you any time. If you want to call and talk about how you're feeling, or talk about what I'm thinking, I would welcome that. If you don't feel you're getting what you need in those conversations, let me know and we'll figure out how to make that better.
