I Want My Wife Back - I Really Screwed Up
You blew it and now only you can make things right.
You have to ask yourself if you are serious about getting your wife back, then you will have to set things right.
- If you really want to win her back you are going to have to swallow some crow.
You will have to learn to be humble.
If it takes begging your wife to take you back, then you have to be willing to crawl on your knees to ask her if that's what it takes.
Being too proud won't get you anywhere. - She may still be mad at you and you have to admit that you blew it without making excuses for yourself.
Your wife may tell you how bad it was and you really need to listen to her and agree.
This is not the time to get defensive but to stand up and take it like a man.
Do not lie about it or try and make it seem unimportant.
After all, if she left you because of it, it's a big deal to her.
- Next, you need to prove that you are willing to make changes.
Just telling her that you will be better doesn't cut it.
Words are easy and she may not take your word for it, especially if you've made promises like that before.
If there are steps you can take to stop something you've been doing, then you should start before you speak to her. - If drugs or alcohol has been a problem for you, you should be getting help.
Again, make sure you are doing something about it before telling your wife that you are trying to change.
Another example would be to start taking anger management classes if your temper has been a problem.
It all comes down to you showing that you are serious about correcting things by taking action if you want her to think you mean it.
Yes, it is hard work to get serious and make a real effort, but you need to ask yourself it is worth it to win your wife back.
Your pride may trick you into thinking that you're too good to do these things, but you will find yourself all alone with your pride.
Work on humbling yourself and get serious about doing what you need to do when you find yourself thinking all the time about "how much I want my wife back".
