Dear Nelson,
I've known who and what I am, for years. You did not know who, nor what you were until now. In my lonliness, I explored the things which you suggested. Nel, I truly thought that you were trying to get rid of me and of our relationship. I grew to view us as an open marriage, but it hurt me badly.
Hurt because I was involved with another, who didn't love me... and hurt me because I wanted you to love me and you would not express that to me. From the times I wanted us to do housework together to the times you would not go with me to the store, etc.

Nel, I was getting ready to apologize for making you feel like second best in our marriage. But YOU made ME feel that way first. So go bugger off... and stop wasting my time!
