How does that letter make you feel? I don't expect my exH to ever apologize to me or admit he didn't handle things well - and I'm happy about that. The worst outcome from my standpoint would be for him to realize how badly he messed up, because I wouldn't take him back on a silver platter. Therefore I don't need him to experience that pain. (I've already got crazy exBF who can't let go even though I've been with another man for 2 1/2 years and constantly apologizes for the things he did in our relationship. )

While it might feel nice to be vindicated by my exH, I don't need that vindication - I already know that he blew it. Lately I digitized all our home movies from when the kids were little, and looking at them, all I can think is wow, he blew it. He had it all and he blew it. This was all about his basic inability to be satisfied or happy. Nothing to do with me really.
