Am I on the right track?

I think I'm here because I failed to meet her emotional needs. We had stopped talking and fallen into routine the past few years. It was boring. I like boring, but she doesn't. I am disgusted with myself for not engaging with her in conversation. She needed someone to converse with, but I was satisfied with just being together.

I don't know what to tell you about the arguing. We just didn't. I thought it was because we got along so well. But apparently she was holding things in. I don't know what bothered her, but what bothered me was her nagging when she'd get home from work. When she'd have a hard day at work, she would literally look for things to complain about, and she would go from one thing to the next like a machine gun. I usually just ignored it. It wasn't bad enough for me to lose feelings for her.

To be specific, the last time she did that it was because I left a bowl in the sink with water in it after eating ice cream rather than clean it immediately. I was on my way to the kitchen to clean it when she saw it and complained. Two seconds later she noticed something else that was out of place (I don't remember now, but it was something I saw as trivial). But you don't check out of a marriage because your husband didn't put his bowl in the dishwasher, do you?
