I don't frequent or contribute to the forum as much as I used to. But I've been divorced since late 2013. I fully immersed myself into DB and MWD's way of thinking. It was amazing how many things she advocates are 100% on the money! The things I learned I still use in most all aspects of my life, and they have served me very well.
I have a few threads here somewhere (I even update my signature/stats as they were pretty out of date).
I kind of felt the need to post, as I've just been scratching my head on this:
About 2 months back, out of the clear blue on our former wedding anniversary I received a text from ex wife, citing our marriage vows and telling me how sorry she was for failing at our marriage.
I responded with a polite: Thank you, wish you the best etc.
Then yesterday (fathers day) I get a detailed email from her that felt about as contrite as I have ever heard her. Telling me how it was all her fault, how she wished she had tried, how every decision she has made since her walking away was wrong. The gist of the letter was asking for forgiveness, which I did forgive her quite some time ago.
I don't know if right now I am journaling, asking for advice, venting, or looking too deep into a shallow well. So feel free to throw any and all comments into this thread (even if just to say "hey").
