I have an exceptional relationship with my wife. We enjoy each other’s company, she is very supportive and loyal. She admires me and we spend all of our time together.

I find this statement puzzling and would be interested to hear more about it. As far as I can see, it does not seem supportive or loyal to disrupt your fine relationships with your children, to the point of rudely ignoring them, sitting at different tables, and boycotting life-changing events like weddings and graduations. Nor does it seem like she admires you for those relationships.

My daughter explains that my wife has forced me to choose between my spouse and my kids, and I there is certainly truth in that statement.

It sounds like you are in the process of choosing your wife over your children. What are the reasons for this choice?

If any of these people loved me, they would not be trying to blackmail me. I have sacrificed all of my money, my time and my energy for them and they are all trying to manipulate me.

Would you expect your children to accept any and all disruptions to their lives, including your wife's insulting behaviors and your own refusal to speak with them in the evenings, and to structure their lives so as to conform with your wife's demands?
