My partner has done so many things that have been inappropriate with other women in our 16 years together and although some didn’t necessarily lead to physical affairs, they were wrong & inappropriate. Acknowledgement from him of those wrongdoings is what I feel I need. I would like to compile a list of the things I would like acknowledged and for him to apologise for. In the past, when I brought up these painful memories, he was defensive, aggressive, mean and blamed me for his transgressions. He’s been doing a good job of empathy recently, so I'm proud of him. I feel that as long as his past painful actions aren't acknowledged by him and apologised for, I struggle to let them go. Do you think my suggested exercise would help with my letting go of some of those things because in the past, I would get the generic, “I don’t know or I can’t remember” answers and when things remain unresolved, they eat away at my peace of mind and breed resentment and I desperately want to move forward and let them go. A simple acknowledgement and apology is all I need. I don’t want to keep bringing up old things every few months, because they remain unresolved, instead, I want to write down the things that bothered me that he did with other women and go through the list and remove those old wounds from my life once and for all. What are your thoughts?
