It's not the whole story. He did ignore his wife. Basically, Arthur was working really hard for the dagger when he had was already the king and could have moved on.

Gwen didn't want to leave him, thats why she went to find the dagger for him. That's why she didn't use the sand on him. She said he could have either his wife or his quest for the dagger. Arthur wouldn;t get the dagger because Rumple was guarding it and Arthur probably would have died trying to get it. Arthur used the dust on Gwen because he loves her, but he doesn't want her to go while he obsesses over getting the dagger.
