DW wants to leave me

I have been with DW 23 years, married 13. After another huge row the other day she has told me that she does not think she loves me anymore and that she has to think about what is best for DC and probably go.
Never done this before but i need another perspective especially female.
I love her more than i can explain and her leaving will break my heart.
It appears i am to blame as i do not fully engage in family life, i work long hours am the only bread winner, we have large family commitments, i run a business employing others..all this leads to massive stress on my part, find it difficult to switch off and calm down at home and head is not where it should be. Having said that i do do things with kids at weekend, take them places etc and love them dearly. I am not an abusive husband, not emotionally controlling or financially i earn it and hand it all over to a joint account and spend none on myself.
To summerise. apparently i don;t think of the family as i have missed some family engagements. My wife swares blind that she reminded me but did not, i can do not right i am always being critised i work 60 hour weeks then get berated for cleaning at the weekend as i am trying to make a point...point is our house is a mess and i cannot tell her this as critisim is not tolerated

What do i do?
sorry for grammar and sp.

Is your wife happy that she doesn't work?

What was the silly thing that happened? You've sidestepped this several times so despite trivialisation it may well be vital.

And how do you 'date' your wife as your lover, not your housewife and mother?

Sorry not side stepped it just can;t find where i have written in and what my train of thought was.

Op, this is not looking good. Judging by the replies on here, you are about to be ripped apart!

I think you're very emotional at the moment and find it difficult to articulate yourself, you just keep rambling! (no offence intended) please take some time off and seek professional help.

I don't think anyone here is qualified to give you the right level of counselling you need. And if you are here seeking a "lady's perspective" on your relationship, trust me you'll probably end up suicidal.
