Thanks Mandy, you too make much sense!

Everyone, I am not discounting my mistakes in the relationship; I have had an acid tongue when we've fought, and rather than making him feel good about himself, I've made him feel bad at times. Even though he treated me pretty badly sometimes, I know now that tearing him down wasn't the way to make him want to change. He turned to another woman to feel good about himself, rather than seeing things from my perspective and owning up to the hurt he was causing me. He had already withdrawn from me emotionally, I'm just try to get past the fact that he let things go so far.
