When the unfaithful partner struggles with their partner's response to betrayal

I cheated on my partner six months ago, told them, and we're trying to work through it, but I keep wanting them to be angrier with me because their calm feels worse than rage would and I don't know if that's about my guilt or about something they're not saying.

What we've seen

Sometimes the absence of expected anger signals either profound grace or suppressed fury, and not knowing which creates its own form of relational limbo.
