I don't have that book. If you could assist it would be appreciated! Thanks
No problem, here it is:
"Spouse, I've been through some very tough moments since you decided to leave. My love for you is so profound that I just couldn't face the possibility of life without you. To a person like me who expected to marry only once and to remain committed for life, it is a severe shock to see our relationship begin to unravel. Nevertheless, I have done some intense soul searching, and I now realize that I have been attempting to hold you against your will. That simply can't be done. As I reflect on our courtship and early years together, I'm reminded that you married me of your own free choice. I did not blackmail you or twist your arm or offer you a bribe. It was a decision you made without pressure from me. Now you say you want out of the marriage and, obviously, I have to let you go. I'm aware that I can no more force you to stay today than I could have made you marry me in 1990 (or whenever). You are free to go. If you never call me again, then I will accept your decision. I admit that this entire experience has been painful, but I'm going to make it. The Lord has been with me thus far and He'll go with me in the future. You and I had some wonderful times together. You were my first real love and I'll never forget the memories that we shared. I will pray for you and trust that God will guide you in the years ahead."
This is of course just an example from the book to give you an idea. You can use it as-is, or chop it to pieces, or write something completely different. I originally planned on making a statement similar to this to W, but in the end it became a much more abbreviated version, basically "What I want is for you to be happy, and if you truly feel that separation is what will make you happy then I support your decision and will help you in whatever way I can. I will be fine no matter what happens."
