Pain

Today I found out something very distressing. My wife explained to me that she is carrying around alot of hurt because of me. We have been married for three years now and she has a very hard time with my family. She explained that my family does not show any interest in her. She told me that my mother has proven that she really does not want anything to do with her. Of course I did not see things that way and I think that upset my wife even more. There was a situation when my wife talked with my mother one on one to confront her on how she felt and she did not like the response she got. She said my mother dismissed it as a misunderstanding. My mother called me to discuss the situation, I told my mother that my wife can be a little difficult, I also explained to my mother my wife's concerns with how my mother treats her. My wife inquired about how the conversation went, and I explained what happened. She told me today that It made her seem like she is the only one with a problem. She said that she is deeply hurt and it did permenant damage to our marriage. I had no idea that I did that to her. I did not see my mother and my family as being that offensive to her. I thought I came from decent people. I love my wife dearly. Honestly I am sad that she lives like this. She says she thinks about it every other day. This deeply troubles me. She also said there is no way to fix it. I did not think that my wife was so unhappy. Honestly this scares me. I wanted to be the last person to give her problems. I wonder now if she thinks she made a mistake. I know I cannot expect her to live like this forever, I caused this in her life and I can't do anything about it.
