Maybe knowing this about yourself might actually help things with you and your wife. I know when I'm really down that I worry about other people and what they think about me and about lack of communication.

If you're AvPD then you likely have trouble communicating with her anyway right? Going over the symptoms of AvPD with her might actually make her feel closer to you - because it would explain some troubles with communicating between you that you might have had. Or maybe it would explain any withdrawal you might have had from various things that your wife felt hurt be the withdrawal?
