The truth is, my ex and I have been emotionally separated for over three years and physically separated nearly as long.  We decided that we were divorcing a couple of years ago, but I hid that just to protect my career.   I regret not being honest and ask that I be forgiven.  Again, the marriage was long over, but foolishly, I tried to protect my career, and I am sorry to have perpetuated a lie over the last few years. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6803825436638732078-8035990573163736334?l=spiritualmike.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://spiritualmike.blogspot.com/feeds/8035990573163736334/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=6803825436638732078&amp;postID=8035990573163736334' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6803825436638732078/posts/default/8035990573163736334'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6803825436638732078/posts/default/8035990573163736334'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://spiritualmike.blogspot.com/2009/11/i-lied-to-public-to-protect-my-career.html' title='I lied to the public to protect my career and I regret it deeply'/><author><name>Spiritual Mike</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/12236979694969310597</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_ra0M8Ozw6Rw/Sr1pQKP8HoI/AAAAAAAAABQ/ScrjF5hh7gA/S220/092509+Mike.JPG'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry></feed>
