Do you think she’s come along and said “I stuffed up, leaving you was a big mistake!”? Hell no!! She’s now on social media claiming she was a victim of domestic violence to try and justify her decision. Says she loved me but had to leave 😂

People who break marriages will have a narrative. They will most likely double down and strengthen it, not take responsibility for their actions.

Read this over and over. Let it sink in. One of the most important things you'll hear.

Most of us play these kinds of scenarios out in our head at one time or another.

It is highly unlikely she will admit error. As Kind says, she has her story and she is going to stick to it, even if she ends up riding the highway to hell (apologies to AC/DC).
