Respecting how she feels has been an issue for me in the past. I would discard thoughts like this as irrational because they didn’t make sense to me.
Of the many things you wrote, this jumped at me the most. They don’t make sense to you because they are nonsense. You can’t make sense out of nonsense. From a very distant view your wife seems to be a bit of a broken whack job. She doesn’t want grandma and grandpa at child's birthday? And this caused her to meltdown, not sleep, etc? Seems like a dream woman to live with. Has she been like this throughout the M? Then she had to run to C to unpack it all?
Don’t get drug into her drama and insanity. As I’ve asked others, is a wife like this who you want to continue to live with between now and dead?
