Husband, I don't think there is anything wrong in saying that to your wife. I would start off by saying you don't expect a response from her, that you just want to let her know that you are begining to understand what she is going through and add what you said. End it by saying, I realize in the past I have minimized your feelings/problems by thinking I could fix everything for you. I'm not going to do that anymore. So I want you to know how sorry I am that you are hurting/confused right now. Please let me know if there is anything I can do to help. Then walk away. Let her sit there and think about it. Let me know how it goes!
