Good question.  At this point, I don't know that any of us here can really help the OP.  At this point, when does complaining about your wife on the internet become a serious sin.  Although we want to help him, at some level it has become an anonymous gossiping session where we only get one side of the story.  This would be equally true if a wife were to do the same thing about her husband.

There does seem to be an OCD issue here on the part of the wife, but I'm beginning to think there is also a much larger marital issue here.  Since the OP's wife is not open to meeting with a priest, the OP and his wife need to get professional help.  Stat.
I disagree. I think that there is much the OP can do. The first thing is withdraw all affection for a while. Also do not let her behave like a mother towards you. Not by words, but by by your very presence.

I typed "how to behave when your wife doesn't respect you" in you tube and there are lots of videos. I haven't looked at any but there must some useful advice there. 

Russian men usually have their mother come in to "advise" the new wife. This is essential mother in law training as Russians know how childish Russian women can be. If you can't bring in your mother in law, then you will have to do this yourself. 

The Taming of the Shrew by William Shakespeare has a wonderful final scene, which I hope will be your happy end https://ok.ru/video/8186296404686 

Why not watch the film together? :)

Just don't give up. Millions of men have been there but if your wife has a deep down good nature, this can really be fixed.

Day and night. She basically talked to me the whole time and seemed very interested vs barely spoke to me and no interest.
Women very much live in the now. It's part of their charm but makes it very difficult to explain to them why one should save money instead of succombing to instant material gratification. Advertisments are aimed specifically at women because advertisers understand this part of their nature. 

You may find that the third time you speak with her, all will go very well. This will of course totally confuse you.

I'm not the other guy but I think I will provide a big post later when I get home. There is a lack of empathy for men in this thread. It takes a great deal for a man to go out of his way to talk and show interest in a woman, especially in today's climate.

As for understanding women, it's difficult as woman never properly explain themselves. Always using vague words like 'creepy. You could just say ugly or bad hygiene or ungroomed. I can tell you i am not ugly, have good hygiene, and am well groomed. I have been reading books on men and womans behaviours and communications but it's not practical until I actually get a woman. It's not like I'm not trying to be a good man. Modern woman (including trads) really don't understand how they are supposed to communicate and treat males. That's why men complain about being led on or friend zoned etc.
Can you provide examples of the "lack of empathy for men" in this thread?  Because I got the impression that most of the posts were quite empathetic and encouraging to the OP.

Is it helping?

Serious question, BTW, not just being a jerk.

Wife defrosts meat on the floor in its packaging that is open.
Ask her not to do that anymore.

I don't see how being extremely selfish or manic about cleanliness can be fixed by a doctor. Would she behave the same if her husband was someone powerful? It's hard to imagine the wife of Julius Caesar getting away with such behavior.

With God's help I'm sure it's fixable as you cannot have your children grow up and see their father treated with such disrespect.
Julius Caesar and his wife had slaves. They lived in a patriarchal society. We live in a feminist society.

Part of the problem is cultural differences, but still, there are civil ways to react those differences.

Yes, it's not good for the children and I suspect many families today have the same issue to one degree or another.

A young woman brings home her fiancé to meet her parents. After dinner, her mother tells her father to find out more about the young man. The father invites the fiancé to his study to find out more about him.
"So what are your plans?" the father asks.
"I am a bible scholar" the young man replies.
"A bible scholar, huh", the father says. "Admirable, but what will you do to provide a nice home for my daughter to live in, as she is used to having?"
The young man replies, "I will study and God will provide for us."
"And how will you buy her a beautiful engagement ring, which she deserves?" asks the father.
"I will concentrate on my studies & God will provide for us," replies the young man.
The conversation proceeds in this manner, no matter what question the father asks, the young man replies that God will provide.
Later, the mother asks, "How did the conversation go?"
The father answers: He has no job & no plans, but the good news is that he thinks I am God.

SSPX Resistance News / Re: Fr. Patrick Kimball leaving the SSPX
« Last post by Stubborn on Today at 04:56:25 AM »
Heard today that Father Patrick Kimball is leaving the Society. That’s all I know at the time. Please pray for him.
My apologies, I had the wrong Fr. Kimball. Fr. William Kimball is who I was talking about.

(With Fr. Girouard's permission)

Father wants to know if Neo-SSPX priests have preached on the Symbol (AKA Creed) of St. Athanasius today.
Yes, the priest recited the Athanasian Creed and that was the topic of his sermon for Trinity Sunday at my SSPX.
