Nicole, a very hard part of my own journey was the realization that I wasn't the greatest husband on earth. The realization that I contributed to the collapse of my marriage. It wasn't all WAW's fault.

I think at one point or another, most of us here have had that epiphany. There were things we all wish we had done differently, that would have changed the outcomes of our marriages. For me, it was a number of small realizations. I have apologized to her about them. At first it was about winning her back, but it became more about clearing my conscience and redressing a wrong. It probably didn't help my DB efforts, but at least I feel better about myself.

Did this realization come to late? For me, I think it did. For you? Who knows. No one can tell you that. But hopefully, the new Nicole will learn from the mistakes of the past.

Please do something for yourself today. Let us know how you are moving forward. As Sotto said, baby steps....
