What Should I be doing (4)

[sandi2]

I don't know, Coconut. Did your W say anything about you posting an apology? Maybe the less said about it, the better? It may clear your conscious, but it seems to draw more attention......IMHO. I certainly do not think you should do it without discussing it with your W and showing the letter to her first.

I am reaching out to you so that I may apologize for my grossly inappropriate and immature posting on (City) Fire Departments Station 4 chat. I deeply regret introducing any distraction to the professionalism, and dedication, that you and your staff maintain in serving the citizens of (City), FL. I understand the utmost importance of your team remaining focused, vigilant and cohesive, to assure the safety of each of your team members and the citizens of Plantation. It saddens me to consider consequences that could result from my actions.

I would like to assure you that the actions were all mine, a betrayal of my wife’s trust, and that I am willing to take any action, or accept any consequence, to make amends for my grossly inappropriate behavior. I can assure you that I am ashamed of what I have done, and there will not be any future inappropriate behavior involving your organization. I completely support my wife’s involvement in your organization, and can only hope my actions do not prevent her from participating in your organization, where she has found a true passion in serving.

I would not add the second paragraph at all. It is completely overdone. As I said, I think it may cause more attention on your W. Please don't react by trying to do something to make up for your actions. Stay in the middle of the road, Coconut.
