Priorities Restored: An Apology for Putting Work Before Our Marriage

My Dear [Name], I had a realization today that shook me: I have been treating my career like my first priority and our marriage like an afterthought. I’ve given my best energy to my colleagues and my projects, and brought only my exhaustion and distraction home to you. You have been the silent hero of our family, and I have failed to be the partner you need. I’m sorry for all the dinners where I was on my phone, and all the weekends where my mind was elsewhere. I am making a change. I’ve started setting firm boundaries with my work because I realize that no promotion is worth losing the connection we share. I want to be present. I want to hear about your day. I want us to be the priority again. With love and renewed focus, [Your Name]
