If she says, "I never want to live near your parents", some guys take that as fact.
If a woman says, "I don't love you any more." or "I want a divorce." or "It's over." some men actually believe that. Sure, it could be true, but that's not the best strategy for understanding what your wife is saying.
I know a man who hasn't been the best husband. My wife knew his wife and I'd heard about him. He'd cheated on his wife multiple times.
Later, I met the couple. The woman was just awful to her husband. She was so disrespectful and rude, the kind of rude that makes everyone else uncomfortable, the kind of rude that's rude to be around other people... toward him. It's wrong to commit adultery, but I can understand the motivation to look for comfort from another woman if a man's wife treats him like that. It doesn't make it right, of course.
He told me the story of how he had a baby with another woman while married to his wife. He went to some sort of career training opportunity to get a new job. His wife was angry at him. On the phone, she told him it was over. She would never be with him again. He was heartbroken and went off and had an affair with a woman who wasn't too bright. She got pregnant. But he reconciled with his wife. My point is, this man believed his wife when she said it was over, and made a stupid decision based on it.
When women talk like this, keep in mind they are talking about how they feel, not facts, not the way things are. Not the way things will be.
I also realize that as the husband, I am the leader. Whether a wife realizes it or not or acts like it or not, the husband is her head. If she says she's never going to sleep with him again, and he verbally and through his actions, accepts that as fact, they could have some serious sexual problems for quite some time. But if he says, "Yes you will, Honey. Your just upset right now." or something like that, he could end up having sex with her after they make up. If she says, "I want to quit my job" and he says 'okay' she may quit her job. But if he says, "I'm sorry you feel upset right now. I know you are upset about your job. But we don't need to make any decisions right now", she may calm down.
If she says, "I want a divorce" and he says, "Fine, I'll get the paper tomorrow", she might back down which is probably what he's hoping for. But it cold escalate into a divorce. But if he says, "No you won't. I know you'll keep your commitment to me 'Till death do us part' because you are an honorable person. You are just upset right now, but we'll work it out and things will be better tomorrow", that just might work. (Of course, it depends on if she's just upset over something small or some big thing like adultery, which may be a different story.)
Also, if your wife says, "You are so sexy. Any time you want it, you ask me, and we can have sex, any time for the rest of our lives." keep in mind, that's just her saying how she feels at the moment. Go ahead and try to hold her to it. Maybe you'll have success. Get her to sign something. Sneak a video or audio recording out and ask her to repeat what she just said without her knowing it's being recorded.
