I told her I was willing to go to counseling. She still is gone all weekend working and going to industry parties, even after I asked for a divorce. It does not seem to be connecting. She went and bought me some gifts, and that was it. It seems like she thinks that buying things and agreeing to go to counseling is enough to get me back.

I understand that she is coming from a different culture and all. I lived over there long enough to realize that I cannot expect the same behavior from her as I can from an American girl. Still it seems that if she really was committed to working things out she would at least try to take some time off to work things out instead of continuing to work around the clock.
Most of the time it is the men that do not know how to communicate, it is reversed in your situation and you need to communicate to her in a way she will understand the gravity of what you are saying.
