SOB (ok, so we need a better nickname for you),

Tell us more about what the work responsibilities around the house were BEFORE you were home full-time temporarily. Does your wife pull her fair share, or do you treat her like a bit of a princess?

I'm sorry, the flowers thing was just plain RUDE, and would have broken my heart, too.

My advice would be for you to do a "180" and move to another bedroom in your home. When she asks you why, tell her that you cannot bear to sleep next to her and not have a healthy sex life nor even any real intimacy.
