As a woman that has often been accused of being reserved and distant...it's really easy to let myself be funny and warm and friendly on the phone or in email. There is a protective barrier of sorts in those formats.
Perhaps, just perhaps your wife feels as I have. Judged, evaluated, criticised. I had ( it's changing) a very buttoned down/ formal public persona because of that.

Change is inevitable, personal growth is a choice.
Love is a action and choice you make, every day.
