I think my wife is doing a little bit of everything by returning the letters. I'm pretty sure they're painful for her to have as she told me she tried to read them as they are a marker to happier times but it is too sad for her to read. I'm also sure she returned them to me because she wanted me to see there was a time when we were so happy together.
There are over 60 letters I wrote to her and those are the ones she kept. She asked me if I was surprised she kept them and I told her I was surprised, but not really. If that makes any sense.
