First off, your W doesn't respect you because if she really dissatisfied with her life as you claim (personally I think you've overinflated this), then she's looking for a strong male figure to support her emotionally and financially.

You are currently unemployed and went into a drinking binge. Which pretty much destroyed the two things she needed the most. I suspect it's the trigger that stopped the sex.

She's looking for someone else for validation of her own character. She's looking for a MAN. What have you done on a positive note to show this?

How hard have you been looking for a job? The OM built up her self-esteem. What have you done to do the same?

From what you describe, she's not just unsatisfied with her life, she's unsatisfied with your lives together.
