Is it too late?

Hi labug,

Thanks for taking time to read my rants & for your feedback.

In answer to your questions:
Whoever said you don’t know what you’ve lost until its gone was so right. Although we weren’t in a loving relationship `per se’ we were still companions & have known, seen & contacted each other daily for 20 years. I just forgot (unforgiveably) how to treat her like a wife should be treated. Ultimately, she is the only woman I have ever truly been in love with & probably ever will be. This also leads to the answer for your second question, yes, I understand why she left, she found someone to offer her everything that I forgot to supply, love & special time with her. I have apologized many times for the mistakes I made & validated every time they have been raised in conversation. She has asked me over & over again during the few conversations we have had , `why didn’t you listen’, `if youd listened we wouldn’t be in this situation’, ‘how do I know you’ve changed, `you cant just change like that’ etc etc. (she raised relationship subject, not me)

The ultimatum text you have quoted was a `one off’ quite
a while ago & I haven’t repeated that,.

Ive pretty much gone on the back foot now, apart from one text communication in the last 3 days regarding a house issue there has been no contact. She is going through a problem with trapped nerves at the moment to which I said I hope she is getting better & it must be painful & difficult, her reply stated `you probably think I deserve it’. All I could say to that was `nothing could be further from the truth, I don’t think like that’.

Thanks again for your feedback
