very similar to my situation. My wife claims I am verbally abusive and has walked away without any attempt at reconciliation. Although in her case, its because she became too focused on the children and lost all focus on me except as an irritant.
I've just been focusing on GAL and improving myself. You can't control your wife, but you can become the best husband and father possible.
As for the new purchases - could be nothing, could be something. She may just be preparing herself for a newly single life.
Just hang in there. And read the DR book.
