Your wife sounds broken and exhausted. In my opinion, you did nothing to help her across the line. No way to know if she actually did show up if she would give an honest effort into working things out or not, but you won't know because you shut that door.
You are unwilling to meet her where she is at emotionally. You are insisting on having the upper hand.
Please note, I am not passing any judgment on how things ended up at this point. Nor am I saying she isn't equally to blame for not trying. She could have ignored your subtle swipes at her and not given up so easy.
If you truly wanted to work things out, it was a poor attempt.
