hope4future,<p>I was not pissed off. I felt a little embarrassed by my post and needed to explain what I meant. I am glad you are not mad at me, I have realy appreciated your comments. You and others like you have really helped. It is nice to have a WS perspective in all of this.<p>I feel my WW will not be able to rid herself of her guilt either. I try to remind her that I hurt her too, and nothing is irreparable. She used to cry at night before the A because I was not giving her attention. All my attention went to my sick boy. I hurt her very much, and I probably will hurt her again. We all get hurt and hurt others in this crazy world and none of us are any more perfect in God's eyes.<p>Again, thanks for all your help.

Did you ever read my story? It's been a while ago, but sounds somewhat similiar. My H was not there emotionally for me after we lost everything in a tornado. I went overboard tending to his needs, and cried myself to sleep while he ignored all mine. I'm over it...I made the choice to ignore my own needs and put him ahead of myself, and I made monumentally worse decisions than did he. Your wife can get past the guilt and pain...she can learn to trust you again...and she can learn skills to respond more productively if you do hurt her in the future. It's all possible...it just takes time.
