I have one comment to add about the moods.
Does your Wife ever get any alone time?
I know for me I hardly ever do when H is home and then the kids.
I have those moods once in awhile and then MY H will call me on it.
OOPS~
For me it feels like I am overwhelmed and I just want a moment to be me ,not a Wife, nor a MOM. I feel ugly, grouchy and even angry.
I can feel it come up in me and I know that I need to take a break. So good for you giving her that alone time. I think that also helped her to want to be giving the next day with you.

Maybe she needs to get out more by herself?
It would be beneficial for her to recharge...
out for Coffee, get her hair done.
Go to the gym... whatever she likes.
You sound much better Cinco...
Way to go.....
