I reflect quite a bit on that, how can she know I've truly changed? What will show her that?
Fact of the matter is she/they can't. When I go inside myself I realise that on the outside everything is the same. I've said I'll change, but I've said that several times before as well. Difference now is, -I- feel the change on the inside. But sadly, we are the only one who can truly know now. I mean, even I have asked myself if I will be able to keep these changes. I guess, like so many have said here, with time maybe they will believe the change they see.
Thanks for sharing your thought the UF, Yeah, I've said I'll change so many times before too. Back then, I really didn't realize how I was damaging our relationship. That's why I feel extra bad now that I even understand why my H wouldn't want to try with me.
I do feel a bit different inside, although it's quite a wavy feeling.
I'll just have to make sure my changes (however small they are) are consistent! Hopefully, our changes will be seen!
