Hi FY, I read what you wrote earlier about "failing as a husband", and trust me, I've had thoughts like that too. But the truth is, a M has two sides and you could only control one of them. Were there things that in hindsight we could have done differently? Yep. But until you reach the point we're at now, we're too distracted with this thing called life to really notice that we weren't focusing enough on our partners and, perhaps just as importantly, ourselves to notice things wilting away. I guess my point is that focusing on mistakes you've made keeps you bound to the past, whereas focusing on the present and, better still, on the future will put you in a much better position to ensure your long term happiness. And yes, it will even give you a much greater chance of attracting your W to you and perhaps get her to rethink things. I know you can do it.
In fact! I, P4L, hereby resolve you of all past failures (you've repented enough and I can't imagine you would ever consciously repeat them), and I order you to go forth and GAL and beat thyself up no more about junk you can't change anymore anyway.
P4L out!
