I thought that was kind of a good conversation. I don't know where it got you--where it will lead--but it was a decent kind of discussion.
I would be very careful not to overwhelm your wife, though. Ideally, she should lead any relationship discussion you have. It won't work to out-talk her or to play up any poor logic she shows. You have to be humble. You have to really listen to what she's saying, and you have to find ways to agree with her.
Ideally, it will be a matter of showing her the ways in which you've changed, and continuing those changes.
NDDT makes some good points. Be careful not to push! I do understand how necessary it must have been for you to get this out. It's out now, and the thing to work on is kindness and brevity, I think.
