I just want my family back
Relationship Stress / by agreeableWater5658

...See more My fiancé of 8 and a half years left me on Tuesday. I am absolutely heartbroken. She is blameless. I have been selfish and neglecting throughout our relationship. I improved massively maybe about 2/3 weeks before we split up but only after a conversation about her not being happy in our relationship. This only annoyed her more because I wasn’t thoughtful or considerate enough to do this before it got to this point. We have a 4 year old daughter together and I wasn’t the most supportive when she gave birth. I was scared to tell you the truth, i was ashamed to admit this at the time and I only told her this for the first time a few nights ago. Granted that was well overdue and she would’ve had a lot more respect for me had I just opened up back then. Despite being an advocate for men’s mental health, I have always been fairly reserved regarding my own to the point where she would ask me what is wrong and I said I didn’t know. I brushed her off. She truly adored me, I know exactly what I did wrong and I know how I could fix it if given the chance. I’m just scared I won’t get that chance. I am absolutely heartbroken.. Similar has happened before but this feels different. She is the love of my life and my daughter the apple of my eye. I just want my family back, I’m committed to being a better person. I love them both so much and this is killing me. Any advice is appreciated
