[quote=Anonymous]OP, it sounds like the problem with your wife goes way beyond your behavior at parties or whether you play Scrabble together. It sounds like your anxiety is pretty serious, and therapy isn't enough to remedy it.

From what you list yourself doing for the household, it seems like your wife is doing far more than you, and she's probably doing most of the things that require social interaction. Right? She's probably really tired and burnt out from doing a disproportionate share of the work. If she works equal hours as you do, that's a lot for her.  Disproportionate workload causes resentment. Then to have you not doing a fair share of the work but complaining that you want her attention, you want her to tell you positive things about yourself, you want you want you want, is really annoying. She wants a partner-- someone she can count on to do his share, someone she doesn't have to coach and manage in various ways as if he's one more kid. Feeling that way about your spouse is super lonely no matter how much time you spend together.

It sounds to me like you need counseling and you need it from a counselor who is experienced in marriages where one spouse is on the autism spectrum. I know you don't want to talk about that, but I think that may be the real problem here.
