Bad to say it, but it became one more thing to do. It wasn't something for me.

That sounds concerning to me.
So I'm going to ask you very directly:
When you did this:
"I have told her, I need some appreciation, positivity, verbal support since years. I haven't heard her say these things."
What was her response?
Do you have a specific example of what she said or did in response, whenever you told her what you need like that?
Did she attempt to stir up drama in response?
Did she simply say nothing and ignored you completely?
Did she deflect and avoid/evade the topic?
Did she attempt to put blame on you, criticise you and your expressed need?
Did she get into a circular argument with you?
Or what did she do?
What does she typically do?
Also are you trying to say your wife stopped contributing anything whatsoever, then? So that you don't really have anything to acknowledge about her contributions (since they are nonexistent)?

On my birthday I watched a Marvel movie, ate an awesome burger, had a drink, and texted a bunch of old friends to remind them it was my birthday.
Awesome day! And so simple. But hard to negotiate those days regularly.

That is cool that you've enjoyed your birthday.
Also. If you don't mind me asking: did your wife say or do anything for your birthday? Anything at all? I noticed you didn't mention her at all in this description.
I see your oldest son has started paying attention to you though. That's good news for now.
