Have you read the Love Languages book? You can begin to understand her LL and interact with her in that way, or from that place inside you.
Understanding and responding and interacting don't mean speaking. 90% of communication is nonverbal, give or take a few %points, so if you continue responding, even nonverbally in ways that are opposite of what your W recognizes as loving, caring and understanding that's more of the same.
There is no guarantee on how your W will react/respond to any of this. The real question is who do you want to be? How can you become the man you want to be and project that in a way that she will come to see as the new, improved you.

Let me give up the need to know why things happen as they do. I will never know and constant wondering is constant suffering. Caroline Myss
