I don't think it is because she doesn't think you can "take it". It's because the issue is HER and she knows it. Maybe she thinks if SHE can't take it, the last thing she wants is to have to let you know and have to think about your feelings on top of her own messed up ones.
It's hard to know that you can't "fix" this, I'm sure. It's really HER thing. You can tell her that there is nothing she could tell you that would change how you feel about her...but, that may not be true. You could offer ideas like a counselor or a pastor to help her deal with whatever it is......But, she needs to unload it to someone, and for whatever reason, it is not you. I'm sure she thinks she has hurt you enough.
I don't know...again, speculation.... Just keep hanging in there, Hope. You are being a extremely loving, and patient husband.
