This is e-mail I just sent to my xH
"I've learned that we are the people we thought each other to be when we got married.
I've learned that I don't need a husband in my life but I DO need REAL friends more than anything else! I learned that I must value myself before anyone else will value me! I've learned that I don't want to live the rest of my life like this, with constant triggers and reminders of the pain you've caused me! I've learned that I need to let go and move on before I lose myself and what's left of my spirit completely! I've learned that there REALLY is a difference between sex and making love and a difference between loving someone and being "in love" with someone!
The MOST important thing I've learned is that love DOESN'T conquer all and isn't always enough! I've learned that I'm not "in love" with you anymore and don't know if I ever could be again. I've learned that typing that last sentence with crying is the hardest thing I've ever done!"

I think you come across as a very strong and determined woman in your e-mail. Even if you're a mess inside, you don't have to let him see it. Good for you!
