Apology letter to HusbandFailing to Understand and Support Your Feelings

I'm so sorry I haven't understood your feelings and haven't been the partner you need. I see now how my distractedness and silence have left you feeling unheard, lonely, and hurt, and that breaks my heart. This is my responsibility. I didn't stop, listen, or make space for you when you needed me, and that hurt you — and harmed us. I want to be clear: I am not excusing it. I allowed stress and other things to get in the way of paying attention to you, and that was wrong. You deserve to be seen and to have me beside you, not emotionally absent. I love you, and I hate that my actions made you feel otherwise. I will do better. Starting now I will put my phone away at dinner, ask you how you’re feeling and listen without interrupting, and set a regular time each week to check in with you about what’s on your mind. If you want, I'm open to couples counseling or reading about better communication together. I want to learn how to be the partner you can rely on. When you’re ready, I want to hear everything — what I missed, what you need, and how I can make this right. I'm here, and I love you.
