Have you read the 5 Love Languages?

It sounds like yours may be physical touch and ??quality time??. On the other hand, hers may be....

Other than my signature I let her handle it all. If it was something she could do I let her and she did it. She came to me several times asking for help with this or that and I would until the next day and I would go back to my old ways.

Acts of Service

What that means is that she may perceive your love in a different way than how you express it. And vice versa. Without speaking to each other in the same "language", you can get the sense that the other doesnt love you.

Which I never did before. Looking after my issues. Finances. And working on projects in the house. Spare time is spent with my kids and finding stuff to do. And it feels amazing! This change in me however brought on resentment from her as she indicated if I had been like this for 5 years we wouldn't be having this issue.

This is all you can do. Be the person that you want to be. Dont listen to her complaints and resentment. Shes going to really be upset with you for being a better person?
