Last night I did ask her if she had anything she wanted to know about what ive done in 4 years then ask me. She only had maybe 3 questions and she didnt have anything else to ask. Why do you think that is??? Uhm, perhaps because she is not yet convinced that you could ever be a truthful man who would be radically honest regardless of the consequences. So, asking the questions is a waste of her time.

You are still trying to find ways to manipulate her. Yes, that is why you gave her the letter. You wanted to make her feel a certain way...that is manipulating. You were hoping for a certain outcome...to make her feel a certain way...feel "good" about your past together. Zach, your past together is horrid. Face that now and do the right thing by this woman. Well put, SMB. Thank you, Frozen. I am having a real hard time staying on this thread. I have to see some actions today, or I cannot help this man any longer. My heart breaks for his wife. His still doesn't.

Today she talked me online through her phone and was just asking me why this why that, and bringing up all these bad things again like she has been recently. Yes, the bad things need to be brought up. The "good" memories won't get you by anymore, Zach. It's time to face the bad ones. Im telling you all of this to show how shes acting. We don't care how she's reacting. We aren't trying to help you manipulate her. We are trying to help you do the RIGHT THING REGARDLESS of her reaction.

I recommend getting a birthday gift and Christmas gift. But make them sentimental, and expect nothing in return. Her gift to you will be letting you make her happy. Although gift giving can fill an emotional need, Zach could easily use this as another excuse to defocus on what NEEDS to be done. If he doesn't close doors to OW through NC letter and changing cell phones, I want no part in him wooing his wife back. He may woo her back, but will inevitably devastate her again because he left doors WIDE open.

I am a BS...words mean nothing to me. Stop apologizing and get the work done. SMB- Could you link me to the page that your husbands letter is on please? Zaaaacchhhh, are you trying to frustrate me? I copied and pasted my FWH's letter into your thread here yesterday morning. Go back and read my posts to you from yesterday, and you will find his letter as well as my response back to him.

But Zach, you letter needs to be YOUR letter. You may read my FWH's letter, but then you must delve deep into yourself and write your own genuine apology.

SMB- Could you link me to the page that your husbands letter is on please? Skipping around isn't what I would call what you are doing. I call it cherry picking..... The letter you are asking for a link to was posted by SMB yesterday.......its on your page already pg22 ......your wasting everyones time by cherry picking and not reading advise already sent to you.......

Zach,
tst is MY FWH. Find his thread and read it. Then you will see what remorse and brokenness look like.
I pray you get there. It is a painfully BEAUTIFUL thing.

You can do this, Zach. It's going to hurt to go to that dark place in your heart where your secrets lie. But it is good and right. Go there.

Should the letter be like a list? Or like a traditional letter? That is up to you. But a list will help you stay focused and not ramble and turn it into being about you. Remember, to the point and specific. This is where you own your stuff.

Zach:
This is all well and good, but what about the no contact letter and changing your cell phone?
As SMB said, this should be done ASAP.
