it will be 2 weeks tomorrow. I feel myself changing. the gym is helping. I continue only with essential contacts. I continue to set boundaries where needed.


During this process I see so much that I could have done. My faults are laid bare. the pain is awful. I shut down because I felt unloved and unappreciated. She gave what she could but I didn't see it that way. I complained and looked for ways out of the marriage for a long time now. I played the victim role. I am not a victim.

its bugging me that I can't tell her these things. I'm afraid she'll never know.
