One more thing to add that I thought about is that the pain WE felt is totally different than anything our spouses will ever understand.
I do validate my H's feelings in the fact that he obviously felt hurt, anger, etc. which was what led him to wanting a D in the first place and I make sure I remember that he had his pain as well, but I cannot imagine it even comes close to mirroring what we went through.
