Have you asked him, "what should I have done instead?" I don't think what you did was abnormal at all. Did you just freeze in your guilt? If so, its perfectly natural.
I would say that if he really can't get past this, might as well let him blow off steam and let him come to you in time. He is (whether intentionally or not) trying to make you feel as sorry as humanly possible by withdrawing. It is just very childish of him, since its not like you actually tried to kick him.
My advice is to let it blow over, after asking him what he would have done. He should realize theres a lot worse things in life than a wife that was so distraught she didn't know what to do.
Best of luck
I'm sorry if this problem seems pathetic but it's true we're having communication difficulties.
Respondents have asked what I actually tried to do.Well I said sorry sorry over & over ditto are you all right.I was knelt beside him with my hand on hhis arm for a while.
He's quite a macho sort of man in a nice way.I wonder if he's a bit ashamed to be seen to be so hurt in front of me.His pride & that.
I think to that he was surprized it could hurt so much that he couldn.t cope better with it,& is embarrassed.
Sometimes I think he just wanted me to cuddle him & say soothing things but was to manly to ask
All just guesses really
Perhaps he feels I should have known what it would be like & taken more care
