The app store shows me logged in but won't let me update my apps without entering my password. I know the password is right, but went ahead and went through the process to change it anyway (including the recovery key) and it still says it's wrong. Anyone have a clue why? This has never happened to me and I've had iPhones for as long as they've been around!

The apps that I can't update are in my account but sent to her apple i.d.
The app is downloaded on your Apple ID, which you cannot/may not send to anyone (in your case your wife).
If your wife also wants that app, you can use Family Sharing.

My wife and I have separate user accounts with user i.d.'s and passwords for each. We also have separate apple i.d.'s and passwords.
The apps that I can't update are in my account but sent to her apple i.d. but if I try to use her password to make the updates I'm told that the password is incorrect and gives me the option to create a new password which I don't want to do.
when i try to update my apps in the app store an incorrect icloud address is shown and will not accept my icloud password this has been going on for several weeks
Do you use multiple Apple ID?
App Store won't accept password
