Meaning
This reads as a confession that trust, once broken, can outlast love. The second sentence shifts the focus from regret to responsibility, suggesting that staying connected to a child matters more than holding onto the marriage itself. It lands in any situation where someone is trying to explain a painful separation without making the other person into the whole story.
