I worked perhaps 16 hours a day for a very long time.
Yeah that can be a big factor. We see that a lot here where a W seems understanding at first but then later drops the bomb and complains that the H was "never around" and "working all the time".

I am not perfect, my W has never described me as controlling. Her major complaint was that I was not around enough and just recently said that we have grown appart. We did have a very loving M for a long time, I will not mind read anymore.
You may very well have not been controlling, or at least not enough for it to be a source of the breakdown of the M. We try to look for warning signs here but we're just getting a part of the picture. Most who come here try to focus on communicating what the problems were, and often that probably makes things seem a lot worse than they really were. The overall picture may be completely different. So just take what we say as suggestions rather than laws. You have to decide for yourself whether the suggestions apply, and how much.
