I did thank my wife for being open and sharing what is in her heart with me. In fact, I told her that I wished that she had been that open with me years ago. It really was nice to hear her share her innermost feelings with me. Even though it was stuff I didn't want to hear, it meant a lot to me for her to say it. And I hung onto every word she spoke.
The thing that spoke loudest to me was how she has always felt that I had her on a pedestal and how much that meant to her. She felt loved and adored. It really hurt her when I tore her down. I wish I had never done that.
You are right. What she opened up about was stuff that needs to be addressed. I am sooo fortunate that she shared it with me. It is a gift from her and I won't forget it!
