What he is not looms larger in his mental landscape than what he is, and his achievements must seem like a drop in the ocean in comparison to the destruction of the rest of humanity by the cylons.
Nice way of summing up his feelings about himself. Lee is far from perfect, but he has done many remarkable things and has been instrumental to the survival of the fleet. Yet, it would seem, it's his perceived failures that he most focuses on.
the fact that his desire for release in death overrode even his intense loyalty to her will, I believe, haunt him.
I agree. His final thought before he nearly died was that he let her down, that he failed her, and that had Adama proceeded with the plan she most likely would have been killed. That's a huge burden for him to carry. As well as the fact he shared his death wish with her and he'll be under even closer scrutiny from her from now on.
