You continue to obey your wife. I know that it is hard to unlearn this behavior, but you have to start doing what vise wants, not what your W wants.

W has a friend that needs her dog looked after for the weekend.
It's Ws friend. Why would even think of doing this errand for her?

Thoughts keep popping in my head about the wedding she is going to, I am trying to convince my self this might be a turning point for my W.
These thoughts are not helpful and are hindering your progress. You can't make them stop, but you can give them less importance. Definitely a cheeseless tunnel, as you put it.
