Quote: I take on responsibility for her feelings about herself. I know I can't and I have nothing but good intentions, but I do this and then she resents me for it and doesn't recognize the boundaries between us. She thinks it's my place to take care of her feelings
That kinda sounds a little hypocritical. You say that she thinks its your responsability to take care of her feelings in one sentence and in another you say that you try and lift her spirits then she resents you for it. There has got to be another way to go about trying to lift her spirits other than suggesting what she should do. Maybe instead of saying "Remeber to have Fun" you should have said somthing like" I feel you pain I have that problem as well when I make whatever" I do not know it just sounds like all of our wives are going crazy and do not know how to handle themselves at this point in time. I really wish I had more advise for you but all I can for you to do is to try wording things a little differently and see if that helps.
