Question: 

I am a the wayward spouse and for some reason I can not get myself to stay calm when talking to my wife about our situation. I know what I did was wrong and I know I need to be safe to help her work through it. But yet I can't seem to do it. I can't seem to show her to care and empathy she needs. I don't know if it my shame. I want more then anything to help her work through this and heal but I am afraid I can't do it for her. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
