1. "love is a feeling. it can change. it takes work though." Really? I thought love is is the cause and the feelings are the effect.
2. "i'm not surprised. men need to be respected by their wives. since you said your wife doesn't respect you. this is common in many WAS." So catch22!?
3. "I find myself lacking in what to do next." If 1 and 2 are true there is just no hope. So either 1. or 2. has to be false in order to proceed.
But FG, perhaps you were "drinking" when you posted.
