An Apology and a Reflection

To my ex-wives and girlfriends,
I want to take a moment to express my sincerest apologies for the times you had to endure a sleep-deprived husband or boyfriend. I know it wasn’t always easy, and the exhaustion I carried often made me less present than I wished to be. Please believe me when I say it wasn’t my fault - I was battling fatigue that sapped my energy and spirit in ways beyond my control.
That said, I hope you also understand what you are now missing out on. Today, I am someone who embraces life with joy - laughing wholeheartedly, dancing freely, and playing with a spirit no longer held captive by exhaustion. I am living fully, savoring the richness that life has to offer, and I do so with a renewed passion. I have discovered the issue robbing me of sleep and upon learning of my solution, my doctor is so pleased and happy for me.
While I am sorry for any hardship my struggles caused you, I must gently remind you that the person you chose to walk away from was also a steadfast supporter, a loving partner who stood by you. It was not for a lack of care or effort on my part but perhaps a failure on yours that this chapter closed.
Now, as I thrive in this new light, I ask that you reflect on what you left behind - a partner who loves deeply, who is now free to shine brightly.
For all the times you tried to dig deeper and help me with my issues, I hold no ill will. But I hope you can find some remorse in missing out on this better version of me - a person who is happier, lighter, and more alive every day.
Thank you for the time we shared, and may you each find your own happiness and peace.
With sincerity, Robert
