Not sure how to deal with this one. Need some help. Please.
I own a developing online business. Today the family joined me for a photo shoot of the product I am selling. My marketing agent and photographer managed to bring in a female model. We had wanted to start some test shots and video of a male and female pair using the product. This was a last minute surprise for me as it was to just be a straight product shot.
The male model was not available and again these were test shots. So I was asked to step in. That did not go over well with my wife of 15 years. Especially when the photographer asked me to hold her hand. Wife was upset, told the model that I have a perfectly good wife that could have done her job, and walked away. Shoot over, took her home, says she wants nothing to do with me at the moment. I left her alone all day, cooked dinner for her and kids, left for a few hours so she could eat without seeing me.
Now here is the odd part. I asked her to model the product. Many, many times. She alerts says no. Before we started today, I told her we were going to do some shots with the model, which she said ok, why are you telling me this. To clarify, there is nothing sexual about the product or shoot.
She is insecure, even after 15 years, great kids, and proof we can handle the ups and downs. It is the only thing I can think of.
I am giving her space until she wants to talk. I have no plans on getting angry. I will listen, explain my thoughts at the right time, and go from there.
Provided this is not her usual pattern, either there is something else wrong in your marriage or your wife is going through something, whether it be menopause or a depressive episode or just a bad day.

What did I do wrong?
I'm sorry. I know that is tough. My ex was the same way. It's unfair, and it sounds like, from what you are saying, you are doing everything you can to make sure you don't over step any boundaries with her. It is not you!! It is her. I wish I had a solution to offer. I tried everything with mine, and it just got to a point where she had to move on. I wish you the best of luck, but if she isn't willing to work on why she is feeling insecure, there is nothing you can do.
Yes. She felt upset that I did not ask her to stand in or say something to the photographer to get her to stand in.
I do not doubt there is depression.
Does she normally overreact like this? It seems irrational unless there's something else going on, like she suspects you of something.
