Tricky sentence
I am supposed to correct a letter written by a young student. He wrote "think about what you would had liked to do and could not because she did not want to"
I know that the sentence is absolutely not correct but I am not sure how to change it!
Thanks for your help.

You are absolutely right. "You" is a husband and "she" is his wife who has left him. Thanks for your hint!
