We all 2nd guess some of our actions. I think this is natural.
If you would have pushed the D through, do you think it would have been possible to handle the situation as gracefully as your have?
Would you have been able to make decisions without the negative emotions getting in the way?
Would you have been able to love yourself as well moving that fast?
IMO - If and only if you can answer YES to all of the above is there an argument (a very small one) for your question of loving your wife better.
Loving someone in the way they DESERVE is not the same as loving someone in the way they WANT.
Because you didn't get the reaction you wanted or hoped for, doesn't mean your actions were wrong.
You did the best you could.. in a sh!tty situation. Hold your head high and move forward with the peace that you loved your w to the best of your ability.

Show empathy when there's pain. Show grace when warranted. Kindness in the midst of anger. Faith in the face of fear.
