Did I make a big Mistake??

I waited all my life (I'm 54) to marry what I 'thought' was the "right" one. Now, less than 2 months since we said our "I do's" I'm about next to miserable! She is taking all my enjoyment & hobbies away, because "she" has different views on them than I do. For instance, I've been an entertainer/singer for over 30 years and am fairly well-known around our city, but she doesn't want me doing it any more and uses the excuse that I only do it to get approval & praise. That's NOT it, I genuinely enjoy entertaining, singing & comedy, but she cannot stand that other people will "praise" me (as she says) and uses the excuse that unless I'm singing for God & not people then it's all about me getting glory. Completely overlooks that I have a passion & the talent for it and thoroughly enjoy entertaining people. I cannot get her to see my point at all. She dismisses any desires I have that are important to me. Another example: I wrote a book, which is sold online by all the book seller outlets. It's taken from the Bible's Book of Proverbs and am very proud of that accomplishment. Any time I discuss promoting the book to make more sales, she downs me, saying I can't promote something I'm not completely living by. My question to her: Who, what HUMAN person, can TOTALLY live by it? SHe doesn't give me credit for my accomplishment, only finds fault as to why I shouldn't promote it. What a joy to have such backing from the one I chose to be my wife! (sarcastically) She says her praise of me should be enough and I shouldn't be looking for praise from anywhere else. You mean I shouldn't let other people play a part at making me feel good about myself by displaying my talents, except my wife? Excuse me, but isn't that a little selfish and controlling on her part? She'll deny it, as she doesn't see how her views are one-sided, but she is trying to conform me into someone I'm not and will not understand and appreciate what's been part of me for over 30 years! I'm a good husband and very attentive to her needs, but she wants to take away the things that are part of my life and that bring me joy and cannot understand that!! There's more that I deal with, but I'll leave it at this for now. What should I do?
