I say sorta because it was his decision to leave, took the kids to ow's house about five hours away. I really hurt for them.

Dearest hubby,
I love you. I married you for life. I am glad that I married you, and I want to remain married to you.

You say that this is a temporary problem solving mission. I hope that you will let the other person know that too. Please don’t make permanent changes to a life that we have worked so hard for. I disagree with your methods and I am very hurt that you would consider leaving us even temporarily, but I believe you think you are trying to help our relationship.

I realize that some of my actions contributed to this situation. And I am willing to address the things I have done wrong in our marriage, like disrespecting you and being suspicious of you and not allowing you to be the leader of our home. I want to be and I will work on being the wife I should have been all along, trusting you and respecting you.

We still say and know that we love each other. That will never change. Do you remember how it felt when we first saw each other again after you left 7 years ago? I knew that no matter what we had been through that we loved each other and we could make it together. I still feel that way. We have worked hard for our dreams and for us, and even in some tough situations we have come through loving. I know we are meant to be.

I don’t want you to go, but I support you. When you are willing to do what it takes to recommit to us, please let me know. I am willing to help in any way that I can. You are not alone. Until then, I will not be able to have contact with you or the kids. It just hurts me too much. Please call (our friend) if you need to contact me.

I will always be committed to you, no matter what. I will stand by your side, even as you do something I believe is wrong, because I love you. I hope that you will remember that our home, with the white picket fence, is our love. Please remember our true love and that I believe in you. You are a good man.

I love you. I married you for life, for better or worse, forever. I’m ready for you to come home. Always yours.

aimee,

It's a good letter. I'd strengthen the no-contact part just a bit (so he doesn't miss it), but otherwise it's spot on, IMO.
