When closeness has become distance
When your wife has gone cold or asked for space.
Distance creates fear. Fear creates pursuit. Pursuit can make the distance feel even more necessary. The first useful change is to stop asking the relationship to relieve the panic immediately.

Respect the space and change the pattern.
Clarify necessary logistics, stop repeated bids for reassurance, and let responsible behaviour exist without demanding a response.
