Hi, please help me.

"I don't want to worry my wife."

"I want not to worry my wife."

Do these sentneces have any difference in meaning?

" This is very strange to my ear. I don't hear people talking like this. I suppose if I heard it from someone who didn't know how to speak English very well, I would assume it meant I don't want to worry my wife .
