Since this is the only way we can communicate now I am writing this to you. I can no longer continue this way. We are both clearly very unhappy and the situation is getting worse each day. We are not together for the benefit of our children. We are hurting them by surrounding them in anger, mistrust and disrespect.
I will no longer defend myself from your claims of cheating, lying, etc. I have done nothing to hurt you intentionally. Nor have I ever and would never be a cheat, that is not the type of person I am. I am very honest with my feelings. I have no agenda and no desire to hurt people. Your constant assertion that I have cheated on you with your sister or any of the other women is not true in any way. I am tired of paying for your anger at others that is constantly misdirected toward me because I am the male figure in your life.
The way you treat me makes it clear that you not only dislike me but you also have no respect for me as a person. You call my integrity and honor into question almost daily and many times in front of the children I am supposed to be a father for.
Say what you want about me, and I know that you do, I have stuck by you through everything that we went through over the past two years. Had I any intention of not being with you, there were many times when I could have left and felt no wrong in doing so.
That being said, I am tired of feeling alienated in my own home, with my own family and with the children that I am expected to support and raise. I am going to change that starting today.
The main reason that I am writing this is to say that you need to make a choice. If you wish this marriage to continue immediate changes have to be made and we can discuss this so that both of us can be happy. I entered into this marriage with the full intention of making it work and being married for the rest of my life. However the only way that works is if the other person involved feels the same way.
Otherwise If you wish to continue to treat me the way you are I am leaving you today. I am in contact with a lawyer and am willing to move forward if that is what needs to happen.
I would appreciate your reply by this afternoon.
Mike
