We are conditioned to feel guilty. I feel guilty over things quite often.

In case of your husband I’d not worry about him feeling hurt. His way of dealing with hurt over police (supposedly) being called was immediately get another woman. He likely will do the same now. He endeared you to him but telling you how he was abused by his ex. He likely will tell women that he ran and escaped your abuse. He’d be on a look out for next victim soon if isn’t already. I doubt he is crying being hurt. He is too busy figuring out his next move and building a narrative.
