Fear. Doubt. Possibly strategy. Immaturity.

"I want what I want, but I'm afraid to do it."
"I want what I want but what if I change my mind."
"I want what I want but what if it will be better for me if I wait to pull the trigger."
"I want what I want but I don't want to do it - you do it!"

I sure don't know what is in your wife's mind - but I've read your accounts and seen versions of the above. None of those represent positions of strength which ought to encourage you.
