Yes Erin. I've been doing a horrible job of listening to you. Call Victoria and ask her what I told her tonight. I'm telling everyone.
Tomorrow is your chance to tell me what I've been doing wrong without interruption. I won't even respond. This isn't a discussion. This is you telling me how I failed you.
Period.
This phone call isn't about anything other than giving you the voice you haven't felt you had or that I haven't given you.
I don't know if it can be fixed. I know I've been doing a bad job at listening to you. No, not bad, horrible.
You deserve at least the opportunity to talk and to be listened to.
That's what this phone call is about.
After the phone call, we can both decide individually if an attempt should even be made to fix it. Then and only then, if we both agree on a decision do we begin.
You have a voice and it's time I listened to it. It's time I did my duty as your husband. I was feeling overwhelmed when I came home. Stressed out. That's only an excuse though.
If I give you nothing else ever. I need to give you the chance to be heard.
I'm very hurt by how you chose to handle this, but from your perspective, I probably gave you no choice. You deserve to be listened to.
I don't know if we can fix this. I love you and I'm willing to hear you out if you have anything to say to me.
When I said those words to you in that chapel, I meant every one of them. I hope you did to.

I need to shut the fuck up and listen.
