Are the words guilt and repentance used on DS. I am feeling guilty about something I did to my wife. I am trying to repent.

Feeling sadness for it IS repentance. Not repeating whatever it is you did will mean a lesson learned.

What did you do? And how are you trying to repent?

Sadly, regret, remorse and guilt are only going to be solved by you forgiving yourself, and if possible those you hurt forgiving you. You sound like you are sorry, as Stevie says, not doing it again will mean that you have learnt from your mistakes. As difficult as it is to accept, we cannot change the past, only live in the moment and live to be the best you can be in the future. Good luck.

You need to ask her forgivenss if you haven't already and you need to forgive yourself... sounds like your having trouble with that one!
Especially if your still feeling guilty.
