She likely feels deeply hurt and abandoned, yearning for you to.understand the pain of separation she endured. I gently encourage you to take responsibility for placing her in a position where she not only had the power to leave you helpless but also felt compelled to do so.
There’s a delicate balance between reasonable expectations and entitlement. Honestly, your expectation seems fair, but the way you present it comes across as entitled.
If this has happened before, it’s a recurring pattern. You can’t downplay your actions as minor or dismiss them as mere oversights and expect her to accept that perspective.
We don’t have the full context of your wife’s expectations. However, through oversight, you’ve put yourself in a situation where you’re unable to provide for and protect your family. Regardless of how you view her reaction, it’s a response to your actions.
Your resistance to acceptance may make her feel even more justified in believing you have lessons to learn. Embrace humility and show remorse. She won’t move forward until you do.
