Can you post your revised letter so we can give you feedback?

To my (pet name)
I sincerely apologize for my part in destroying our marriage. I allowed my own stress to overwhelm me and I failed you, our DS, and our marriage. I neglected you and your needs. I failed to communicate with you on important issues. I failed to recognize that you needed me, mentally, emotionally, and most importantly, physically. I am truly sorry for not being there for you when you needed me the most.
I have been and I am willing to continue to improve myself to be more present in our marriage, more attentive to you, and to find ways to reconnect with you on all levels. I want to be able to recognize and avoid repeated mistakes. I�m willing to create a new life for us that will meet your needs.
However, this situation has been devastating to me. I cannot offer you these improvements while you�re still living with her. This situation is too painful. Until you end your affair with her and are willing to move back home, to work on a plan for reconciliation of our marriage, I will avoid seeing you, talking to you, or interacting with you personally and/or directly.
(Friend) has agreed to act as a mediator for us. If you want to communicate with me about any of the necessary topics, you will email her (email).
I ask that you respect my choice. You know how difficult this situation is for me. I cannot be around you or interact with you while you�re still with her.
As soon as you�re honestly willing to permanently end your affair with her and rejoin me in our marriage, I will be sincerely willing to discuss our future together.
I hope someday we�ll be able to rebuild something amazing together. I want us to meet each other�s needs; emotionally, mentally, & physically. I want us to be able to avoid hurting each other again. I know we can build a new life together that we�ll both be proud of.
I love you more than I can put in words. I have loved you practically from the moment we met. I love you still today. Even with my love and desire to rebuild our marriage, I cannot live like this anymore. Until you�re done with her and want to rebuild our marriage too, I cannot interact with you. Please email (Friend) from now on.
With all my heart, and all my love. Forever & Always. Me.
