Question

Can you go a little more into detail about what qualifies as shaming? As a betrayed spouse I don't want to shame my spouse. He feels like sometimes I cross that line when we talk about what has happened, even if I am not calling him names or belittling him. Can you help me understand the line between expressing how his actions have hurt me and shaming him for the things he has done? He sometimes feels that I am shaming him when I say things like "it really hurt me when you did this lwith that person". Sometimes in anger I say variations of "you did this with that person!" and I think that could be shaming. If you could give me a little more clarification or examples that would be really helpful to me.
