Just looked at myself in the mirror this morning and I am not liking the man I see looking back. My eyes look dead from behind I need to pull myself together and realise she ain't never coming back now all her stuff has gone?

Why would she want to anyway when you are such a mess.


Change your mindset. This should read, "Why would I want her to come back when she's such a mess?"

In your above statement, you are blaming yourself and basically saying you aren't good enough for her. Your M will never work as long as you rank yourself lower than your wayward W.

I think your recent low feelings come from her blaming you for the letter, and now her parents are against you. BTW, did one of her parents actually talk about it to you, or are you going by whatever your WW said?

If you are a man of integrity, then hold your head high and stop acting guilty as sin.

I want to be the man I was 5 years ago happy and contented


Mark, do you want it bad enough to make it a priority over your WW? If so, then tell us what you would need to do to become that man again. I think it's a great goal. Like any goal, it requires work. You can break it down into small steps that lead you to that goal.


It is not about what you feel should work in your M. It is about doing the work that gets the right results. Do what works!
