" I do however really feel I had to put a lot if effort into playing with the kids because she flat out ignored them while she browsed eBay or FB (this was a really regular occurrence)."
That's YOUR perception. She might have thought that since you were there, you it was your chance to play with them. Stop the mindreading.
"Whenever there was a choice between playing with the kids or doing a chore she would always insist on doing the chore."
Women think differently than men. She might have taken it as an opportunity to get something done while the kids are occupied. That's how most women see it.
"my W likes to be put on a pedestal."
Pretty condescending comment. That's YOUR perception and an extremely vague statement. She probably wanted your attention and you IGNORED her. That's not being put on a pedestal. That's called just basic respect and relationship 101.
In fact, just 6 days ago, you wrote... "For the last couple of years I have neglected my wife."
