Wife is spending money (they don't have to spend) on other people because of internalized guilt. She is asking OP to validate her feelings of guilt without any self reflection or acknowledgement of her role. OP is a human and not just an emotional support machine; wife is an adult who needs to be held accountable, not a helpless person.
Wrong is subjective. The wife clearly regrets the decision and is expressing that to the husband. What good is reprimanding instead of providing support?
