I wonder if longing for your wife to be different than she is, is tied to a childhood longing that you had for your alcoholic parent.... children of alcoholic parents are often forced to grow up fast, & become the caretaker of their parent... rather than the reverse. That longing could very well be tied to your childhood. Something to think about at least.
