1.  Telling the kids I'm upset because I'm not getting the attention or love I need from your family makes me sound needy.  I have always tried to be strong throughout.  I liked thinking that I was strong in handling what's been happening with you.  Now I feel like I'm being the weak one and it makes me feel bad.

2. You do have a choice.  You are choosing to be with your family because you believe, and I agree, that they want you with them.  I can't join you in your effort to comfort them because I'm struggling with my feelings toward you.  We have put off working on our relationship because your family has taken precedent.  You think you have to be there for them, 60 days, 6 months, a year?  I'm definitely not able to wait.  I honestly don't feel like I can wait any longer.  I know it feels better to help them than to work on our marriage because our marriage is filled with guilt and bad feelings.  I am actually feeling worse now than ever and I'm not sure why.  It is beyond painful, and I mean that, to watch you with Hal and the kids as I literally stand by.  You say you'd like me to be with you, go to Delaware, but you know that isn't possible.  I am home with kids and dogs.  I don't want to go back and forth to Delaware.

3.  Going to Kiawah is going to be really really hard for me.  Not going also will upset me because I don't think it's fair that you'll get to be with our girls without me.  You telling girls that it's hard for me makes you the good guy and me the weak one.  I don't want them to ever know the truth of why I'm unhappy - that it's what you've done to me, not your family.  I want them to always love you and think good things about you.  It's just so unfair.

4.  You being the good guy through this and me being the sullen one, with you constantly looking at me like you don't understand why I'm upset, just exacerbates everything.  

5. I know you don't know how to live without Beau.  Neither do I.  Your focus on foundation, scholarships, his children, Hal, your dad, building in his name, etc doesn't leave space for us.  I know doing all of this work helps you grieve but I think Beau would want you to try and save your marriage.
