kolja, no 2x4s from me on your convo with your W. I don't think you stated your changes in a pursuing, chasing way. I also don't think you had a tone of, "hey, look at me! Look at these changes!" I think you simply stated where you are and where you're coming from. Just MVHO.
It'll take time for your W to notice the changes and it'll probably even take more time for her to trust and believe them. Just concentrate on being the man that she'd be a fool to leave.
