I think it's interesting how your wife is reacting and I think it great that you're facing the fire.
Most interesting is how she want's some jewelry as a present. Cute that she wants a display that you still care for her and that you love her when your just going away for the weekend. It sound a bit insecure but if you have been such a NG for your whole marriage there is bound to be allot of insecurities both ways.
