I am staying away from it and I have seen how much small actions or negative thoughts can move me in a way I say or do something that have provoked it. Like snooping and thinking whatever I find, I can keep it to myself and not let it affect me on how I interact with W. That has been false ALL of the time. I have been so emotionally vested, was not able to just keep it inside. Even if I did not confront her, it came out on how I interacted with her.

I know I have been saying I know my failures in the relationship but I am sure there are many I have not realized and hope I can see then as I grow as a person and be able to address them in a positive way.

My biggest deficiency would be at some point I got too comfortable about where I was in life. I told myself I have a good job, got a house, a great W, I am health so I went on cruise control. I also started taking things for granted. I stopped living life the way I did before as in keeping up with friends, family and traveling and live life. I gravitated to W's friends and depended on her for activity planning and things like that. I also made it hard on her when she planned some things where it usually takes me a while to get with a vacation plan and things like that. My focus was about work and getting ahead and sort of dropped the ball about the relationship. I also was not able to share with her my desire bring my daughter to live with us from early on.
