Ripe,

Yes Yes Yes take a step back. and a deep breath and another.

How have you failed? are you still trying to be the best man you can be...How is that part coming? are you focusing any energy on yourself or was it all on you-wife relationship.

This is not an easy journey for sure. This is not a simple task, to look at yourself and decide that there are things that you are not happy with. You can always find things to work on to make yourself a more complete person, one that likes what he sees in the mirror every morning. if you can not do that EVERY DAY than you know what needs to be done.

Start over with your lists, determine what you can change, what are your desires, what can you do today/tomorrow/forever that you want to do with your life. This can be things you've never done before...or others you've forgotten you loved to do and just didn't.

You have time now that you didn't think you did before, call it a new lease. First things first is learning that you are worth loving with all of your heart. that is going to be the first step in really detaching yourself from this situation. How can you get there...will you try...that is what you need to focus on RIGHT NOW.

I am really sorry that this turned so fast, it is a reminder to ALL OF US that detachment is absolutely the key to moving forward. We will be here...rooting for you!
