I have the same issue with my WW, especially after D-Day. Before then, she never complained about me "controlling." I fall under the Nice Guy category, even though I have a strong personality I never try to "boss" over her.

After I confronted her with her EA, however, she always accuses me of being "controlling" to her friends. Part of it is justification for leaving me. The other part of it is because she no longer feels necessary to be my wife. For instance, I used to always ask her, "So, what were you up to today?" on Fridays, because she gets the day off. Now, she always claim to her friends that I'm "stalking" her...
