I am thinking of sending this letter to my ex. Not finished.. would like some imput. I have been dry for almost 40 days.

 

My drinking problem and the effects on our relationship and lack of communication.

 

 

 

****** I felt the need to write this letter becuase for one over the past couple months of minimal to no contact I have been able to dig deep into myself and take a wide look at our past relationship.

 

One of the biggest problems I have realized in our past relationship was direct and proper communication with respect to the arguments we had. We didn't read it each other correctly and I absolutely understand that I missed the signs you gave me. There were mis-interpreted signals.

 

As you know in mid august I began to drink a lot more than usual. I know this hurt you when you started to notice my breathe on occasions, and I denied how much I was drinking. The nervous energy and fear of school looming was why I started to drink more. It had nothing to do with you and I didn't communicate that to you becuase I was embarrased. That wasn't fair to either of us.

 

You were always open and willing to talk about things from the past and present you were not happy or proud about and that is where I should have reciprocated. I denied my drinking, our arguments and denied both of us the respect we both deserve.

Hey Rowen,

I don't know man, but i have the feeling she left you for more than/or something other, plus the drinking.

I think that the arguments were a sign of her losing love for you, if she initiated them.

I wouldn't send that letter if i was you, just do your best to be better.

Well this isn't about getting back together with her. This letter. I think she needs to know this and read what I feel about the situation, since we've never really had an opportunity to talk about it in detail. She offered to go to AA with me, call when/if i needed her. I said I needed to do it on my own.

 

Note: I admitted after she broke up with me that I had been drinking more then I let on.
