Your relationship has ended.

You feel betrayed, deeply hurt.

You gave decades of your life to this person — and now they’re gone.

You agonize over the things you said, the things you did.

You wonder –If only…

• I worked harder to make them feel safe and loved.
• I proved to them I could be trusted.
• I gave them everything they wanted.
• I got us into counseling sooner.
• I realized they were struggling.

You feel regret and lots of it. Regret about

• Not realizing who they were sooner.
• Getting married too fast.
• Being deceived from the beginning.
• Not being good enough to help them change.
• Not trying harder to make things work.
• Trying too hard to make things work.
• Staying too long.
• Giving away the best years of your life.
• Having children with this person.
