Love too me is hard to explain... I want the best for her, I really do. I want her to have happiness and health. I of course, feel that can be achieved within a new relationship between the 2 of us.


So, is that the line you are gonna use IF she decides to make things work down the road ????

That is so romantic buddy <sarcasm intended>

Think deeper than that,

I am ashamed and I am bettering myself - working on myself.


Okay, so you feel guilty over being an asshat for years....

Is guilt the only thing keeping you here ?

Define the above question more clearly, and you may find a better source of motivation.....

Guilt will keep you stuck in a role that you may not want...

You may want to save that, for when you get all of your splinters picked out....


Jus sayin...
