I guess in your case you went through the "honeymoon" phase, when all is sweet and nice for the first couple of months. The hard work of piecieng has caugh up w/you and now the feelings you shelved for so long are coming back and hurting you.
It is normal, hang in there. The best book for piecing is "healing the hurt in your marriage",give it a try. If she has distanced herself she prob sences your resentment is trying to "protect" herself.
I know it is hard to fight w/resentment, but the best things to do is face it, think of it as of a giant dragon. You can't ignore it, it is in your way, the only way to deal w/it is to face the ugly truth, admit that it happened, then realize it is in the past and that you are on your way for better things. SLAY the dragon.
