Communication is key. Try to get a good picture of what your wife has in her mind, because emotional state or ideas are key. The world is largely emotional, which you have to find your way of dealing with. Find out the reasons by just listening. Be aware that the answers or story you get depends on her emotional state. If something is wrong, she will not tell you something is wrong even after asking. People focus so much on the negative and forget every positive thing in a relationship but if people were perfect they wouldnt love eachother. As for "her space", see below.

A relationship is always between two people. Both decided to be together, avoid blame and 'you and me' situation, nobody has a fault here because every day you (and her) have a choice. Try to give and receive happiness and do some fun things on the side.

If there is no 'we' in the relationship anymore, communicate or break up.
