Part 2 of the "Conversation with My Ex" podcast series, in which we discuss D-Day and the aftermath, will be released on Friday. The final episode, which looks at our lives after divorce and our effort to be cooperative co-parents, will be released next Tuesday.

"I think as a woman, when your husband leaves you... you wonder: Why me? What did I do?"

—Konnie

Mixed Feelings

This week's podcast episode is one I had been looking forward to releasing. But, honestly, hitting publish brought a wave of feelings I didn't fully expect.
​
My ex-wife, Konnie, and I sat down and had a real conversation. About our marriage. About my affair. About the wreckage, and what came after. It's honest. My failures are presented in stark reality, not softened or explained away.
​
The anxiety I felt in releasing came from the realization that we left no place to hide in this one. Critics and haters will have new ammunition.
​
But there is satisfaction, too. Because what you'll also hear is something I think a lot of people need to know: that healing and grace are genuinely possible on the other side of betrayal, even when the marriage doesn't survive. Especially then, maybe.
​
Konnie showed up for this conversation with a generosity I don't take for granted. Her willingness made this unique series possible.
