I'm so sorry you are hurting and I'm sorry to hear your w cancelled dinner. I know that even though we try our d@mndest.. hope does get in the way.
I know how frustrating it is to have w see things completely differently then you. I know how frustrating it is that w doesn't see your changes..
..BUT if you believe that your changes are for YOU and for YOU ALONE, eventually it doesn't matter if she sees them. Eventually you become so happy with your progress and new self that you wouldn't change back to your old ways.. even if it meant getting your wife back.
KWIM?
Do your best to control your anger and frustration around her.. You can't make her see the good changes, but you can hurt the possibility by showing those negative emotions.
Keep working on you and let your w... continue to walk through her fog.

Show empathy when there's pain. Show grace when warranted. Kindness in the midst of anger. Faith in the face of fear.
