She's obviously not happy with me but I want to make it work. We've been married 8 years. I love her. I know this sounds really screwed up, but should I go on the week long vacation by myself and give her some time?
YES. you should go.
If my wife were to tell me all those things, I don't think I would have waited for an invite to leave. Take some time away, perhaps longer than a week.

First put a keystroke recorder program on the computer to see what she's up to. Maybe she has someone she wants to date without interruption or detection from you.

I had a great day, and it added up to two times the fun at night.
I'm coming late to the party but I thought I'd chime in. You said you are introverted and she is extroverted. I am in a similar relationship and what works for us is that I let my partner go out and have his fun. What I mean by that is he goes out and socializes with his friends, plays his sports and leads a part of his own life. I stay home but will occasionally join him for beers with his friends or concerts. When I do join him, I have fun because I'm not pressured to do so all the time. We rarely fight -- but when we do its over silly stuff like doing the dishes and we both end up laughing.

If she still wants a week off I'd let her have that time. If you don't want to go anywhere than stay with relatives as others have suggested but do not stalk her or spy. This is based upon the statements you've made that you trust her.

Anyway, this became a long thread in short order so I may have missed some pertinent information. I wish you luck and I think you have the right attitude about not giving up easily-- but after that week you'll need to be prepared for anything.

So let me see if I got this right, in order for a woman to receive very expensive and romantic gifts on VD, all she had to do is being a complete Bytch, treat a man like dirt, and practically kick him out of the house for a few days while she enjoys some alone, or maybe not, time. I am so happy I visit this forum on a daily basis, there are things that money can't buy

Yeah, but look at the upside for her. If she threatens divorce or infidelity, she might get a new condo...He'll teach her! No ones going to push him around..

Scenario: Wife: Let's face it. It's just not working. I am just not into you anymore.

Man: I am having a hard time reading you. I really don't get what your saying? Do you want to move? You don't want to work, what is it?

Wife: It's you. I can't stand you. You make me sick.

Man: I have never loved you more. Wait til tomorrow.

Wife: What's tomorrow, you gonna leave? I wish you would. You make me sick!

Man: NO, I was actually going to surprise you with a new coat, purse (chanel), earings and a trip to Hawaii. Just to show my never ending love for you.

Women: Oh were you, you make me sick!

Man: Is that in a good way?

Women: Are there any good ways? God you make me sick! I need you to leave the house for a month so I don't have to keep sending my boyfriend home at four thirty. Got it?

Man: Ok, I'm sorry. I should be more understanding. I really want to understand your need for another man. I guess I was just kidding when I said that you had to choose.

Women: Die, you fool!

Man: Seriously???? If I do that, will you still love me?

BTW, Just kidding. Just trying to make light of it all. Try not to take to much offense to it..Just for laughs..A little over dramatization of the whole scenario..

Not surprised at all, I've come across so many "nice guys" being married to real B's.....they seem to like it and the B's are happy too because they have a place to wipe their feet...Treat a guy nice and he'll use you for everything you've got and then some, treat him like crap and he'll kiss your feet...

This sort of behavior can go both ways. I'm sure we all know major jerks who are married to women who are too dumb and submissive for their own good.

I am honestly beginning to wonder if the OP is just a troll. Or a compulsive liar.
