Your W sounds a little like I did the first year of my marriage:
Things happened that caused me to feel my H no longer understood me (no I realize it was poor communication on both ends)
I didn't feel loved by him (at the same time, I was 26 years old and didn't really know what I wanted/needed him to do to make me feel loved, I just expected him to know what to do. I needed to mature, learn my self and then tell him directly what he needed to do. Can't expect someone to mind read, especially when you don't know for sure yourself) Has she told you specifically what you can do to make her feel loved?
I wanted him to spend time with me at home because I am a homebody (I should have been mature again, stepped out of my box and spent time out and about with him instead of wanting him to sit home with me, then both of our needs would have been met)
So I'm sure just as I needed time to grow, learn myself, that's what your wife needs. So sorry she isn't understanding that she can do those things and still be with you, while you change the things you need to change as well. My H is the same, he feels he now needs to be alone to make changes on his own and I with only be a hindrance to his happiness or a source of pain.
Hi Mimi, really appreciate that you dropped by. My W did tell me numerous time to buy stuff for her. But I would just give excuses time and again until the point whereby she didn't bothered anymore.
