Hi Nicole,

Please don't panic. I can feel the same panic in you I felt many years ago. I so wanted to make amends for my part in our marriage downfall.

But you've said your piece, and I'm sure you worded it brilliantly. He has those emails and he can revisit them at any time if he wishes to. He knows you're sorry for your part, he may not be ready to hear it but you've said it and it's out there.

The best thing you can do for yourself and your marriage is to look to your future. To your happiness. Find your joy in the small things. Take the focus off H. I'm not saying he's not important but you're MORE important right now. I know you want and desperately need guidance to do or say the right thing, and that's understandable. But deep breaths...

By lifting the pressure off him and your marriage you'll be giving both of you a much needed break, some fresh perspective.

I know it sounds sappy, but self love right now is the way forward. I wish you the very best xx
