If you think this is an attempt to manipulate. It isn’t.
I know and believe that divorce is not the answer to our problems. That being said, I truly have an endearing love and respect for you. I will not stand in the way of a divorce I am able and willing to release you from our commitment if that is what you choose.
As painful, difficult and heart-wrenching as this is for me, I have awoken from a dark slumber in a fog of life. I find that as I painfully opened my eyes, it as though I have been born again. I have been led and have heard the voice of the lord in my heart and mind. I have glimpsed the path ahead for me. I now know who I really am. I also know whose I am ? . I am becoming the man, the friend, the brother, the son, the father and finally husband I am meant, and always wanted to be.
Please do not respond to this letter
Sincerely with Love,
Groov
