My W never said those words, but she did write them in her journal so I guess that counts.

And I can tell you from my experience that yes there is hope even after hearing (or in my case reading) those words.

My W and I are improving so fast its making my head spin at times. I can't even tell you what caused the change of heart because we are just starting to talk about stuff like that. I don't push and listen and validate when she opens up about our past.

But just know that this can work.

The number one thing that my W told me about our recent past was that all the things that I did to invalidate her (things like snooping, pushing, arguing, pleading, etc.) only made her want to leave. When I pulled back and stopped those actions is when she started to come back to me. Just my two cents.
