Print this out and write it in a card to give to your wife someday soon. You can apply it to yourself as well.

FORGIVENESS:
Let go of anger and resentment, and feel yourself healed. You don't need to forgive the action(s), just the person (including yourself) -- so that you can be at peace.
Release your anger and irritation. You are perfectly justified in feeling angry, yet look at the high price you pay for being the vessel of anger.
Forgiveness does not mean, "What you did to me is okay." It simply means, "I am no longer willing to carry around pain in response to your actions."
When we hold unforgiveness in our hearts, we only punish ourselves, after all. <God> will help you release unforgiveness if you will just ask.
We punish ourselves far longer than God would even consider it. The act of asking is forgiveness itself. Shame and confusion is the complete act of ego... you somehow have done something that no one else could ever come close to committing. PUHleezze. Can you say Hitler? Jeffrey Dahlmer? Susan Smith...???? (If one needs to compare, after all.)
Sorry. You do not have the corner market on shame and confusion. You don't even come close. Get OVER yourself, dear man. Enough self-flogging. Enough!!
Get off your azz, stand up straight and tall, and be Who You Want To Be. Start NOW. There isn't a dam thing stopping you... 'cept you.
Hey, I love you, and I happen to have incredible taste. So there.
