I read my wife's diary when she was in the hospital. She wrote about how she wished she had married someone who listened to her. I have not been able to look at her the same since. #guilt #marriage #regret
That must have been devastating to read, especially during such a vulnerable time when you were already worried about her health. The weight of seeing yourself through her eyes - and recognizing a truth you may have been avoiding - is crushing in a way that changes everything. What strikes me is that her words, painful as they are, might actually be a gift disguised as heartbreak - you now know exactly what she needs from you, and there's still time to become the listener she's been longing for.
