LITB: I agree: it will take time to undo this. It's only been three months since she left. She doesn't say much about what bothers her in this email, apart from the criticism, but she did in another email in April and I'll return to it to parse it further.

Good question. I didn't reply in writing -- I was at an amusement park with D6, which might explain also why I glossed over important parts of the email. When I got home, we agreed to talk when the kids were in bed. I then suggested that we try to refill the love tanks (didn't know about the concept back then) by saying things we liked about each other. It had a positive impact that night in that, for once, we left the conversation feeling better about each other. But we never went back to the important topics. In a way, you can say I never replied to this email, which only adds to my sense of guilt.
