First paragraph of email reply is great. Second one.... let me take a crack at editing it for you, since I'm not sure how legalistic your wife is and that's what the second paragraph read like to me, you have no need to defend yourself!:

I do understand that we did not get here based on your actions and feelings alone, thank you for sharing with me that that bothers you so much. I'm not sure how to share with you that I do take responsibility for our current situation, and that my "mantra" is a defensive reaction, not a denial of my role in our situation.
It is not a hint any longer Merrick, you now have written confirmation of what one of your 180s needs to continue to be. If you have already stopped the "If you're so unhappy...." comments, don't take this as a backslide. My W brought up something that I hadn't done in MONTHS during one of her tirades of getting stuff off her chest.
