Matthew,
I was reading your message and I was thinking I hope your wife is reading it too.
You sound sincere and repentant and doing everything to mend your ways.
You deserve a second chance. Everyone of us.
I think a person who says she can't forgive is dealing with 'pride'.
and that is also a sin. The Bible warns us about pride. Pride for me means being self-righteous
and having the attitude that "I can never do wrong". Be careful..
Maybe your wife is just feeling anger and hurt and is lashing out at you.
which is natural response from her.
I pray that over time she will learn to forgive.
Matthew, give your wife time to work over her emotions.
God bless you both.
