Forward, I have a question for you. I am the one who left, I am the one who filed for D. I have been D again, I was the one who was left this time. Going through this has finally put me in the position my first wife was in years ago and I have had thoughts of contacting her to acknowledge that and apologize. That said, I am mindful of putting her through the pain all over again.
I think if you feel sorry then you should tell her. It may momentarily remind her of the pain, but in the long run it will help both of you.
M: A really long time. Crisis: 5 years. She's still worth it.
Life is never made unbearable by circumstances, but only by lack of meaning and purpose. -Viktor Frankl
