My opinion -
I think your W is scared, unsure, feeling unloved, and her future is in jeopardy if she stays with you. Of course there is a lot of me projected into that statement but here's why I say that. My H is self employed, he wants to be his own boss. Ok, fine. I supported his decision. When he is 'on his game' the money was great. When he gets tired or hurt, the income takes a hit, right down to where he has had no income. Ouch!

Financial stress creates guilt and distance.
Guilt and distance creates walls and fences.
Walls and fences create lonely and unloved.
Lonely and unloved create need and vulnerability.
How does your W fill her needs and vulnerability?
How do YOU fill your need and vulnerability?
Mars and Venus.
She finds someone to make her feel good and feed her emotions and she is ready to run away.
You dive into your work to save the day and the family and that should bring her back.
