Here is what I wrote to my husband:

Dear L -

I never thought that our marriage would come to this point. When we took our vows, I thought it would be forever.

I know that the everyday tasks, working, raising all the kids, and paying bills caused us to drift apart. I am sorry that you did not feel the love that I have always had for you. I have made many mistakes and regret them.

I love you, as my husband and best friend. But to protect that love, I cannot have any more contact with you. It is too painful.

If you ever get to the point where you want to work on the marriage and have no contact with J, please let me know. MarriageBuilders has a plan for restoring our marriage, and I would welcome you back home.
