"After thinking about our conversation the other night, I hear that you are in emotional turmoil. I get it. I believe that keeping up our little friendly texts just keeps the wound open longer. I understand that you are not interested in having me as a husband, and I can respect that, and so I'm not going to attempt to keep up the obligations, emotions, or actions anymore that would indicate that's what I want. I think we both need to step back, and not talk to each other unless it includes coordinating things with our daughter. We both need time to focus on ourselves. I know you stated that text was an accident the other night, but I just don't believe that. If your need is to continue illicit dating, I won't be a part of that. I'm not interested in an open marriage, and quite frankly it's very unattractive to me, and provides me no motivation to pursue any kind of relationship. I'm sorry if this seems abrupt. I think it's necessary to do this, and maybe in a few weeks we can re-address and see what we want to do moving forward. I appreciate you giving me a chance to express this.From now on my conversations with you will be limited to coordinating things with our daughter."
Everybody hurts. It's part of life. Don't miss the good stuff.
