- Sorry for my actions. Unacceptable. I've been hurtful and abusive. - 12 examples. Here's what I did, here's how I imagine you felt, I regret what I did. - It must be hard to live with me. - I'm worried about impact on the kids. - I'm going back to IC. - I know if I don't change you might have to leave. - I hope you forgive me some day. - Hope you can share your feelings with me
Letter #2 (paraphrase): - I love you (with list of 10 reasons why) - I want to have a future together with you - I hope we can work together to heal this hurt.
Letter #3 (paraphrase): - Specifically addressing one event - I need to change, I understand if you are afraid of me.
I'm pretty sure I don't need anyone to reply...... Really bad........ Wish I had found DB before this..............
It's been 6-7 weeks since. I asked to talk in person after Letter #3, she said in front of an IC. . . . . . So you tell me if I'm wrong. I'm pretty sure W is scared of talking to me.
How can I go back and say: - I freaked out, and did the event in Letter #3, because I thought you were leaving. - I wrote those over-the-top letters because I was scared of losing you. I ALSO wanted to apologize to you. - I can see in retrospect how one-sided and awful those communications were. - I am calm now, I accept any outcome to our M, but I want to try to stay together.
I just don't think DB'ing alone is going to address this issue. I can be AMOAFWL, but it's not going to matter if she's afraid of me.
