She's ready to move on

[saffie]

An inability to motivate one's self and do things around the home is probably tied in with feeling low and possibly depression. A common symptom of depression is not having the energy to do things. I just mention this in case you want to take that into account when tackling your W on this area. (Also she may just be plain shattered with having the new job - it is bound to be mentally AND physically tiring in the beginning.

Also, on a personal note, I know that when I am working through emotional issues I am often less productive with the physical side of domestic life etc but when I get a lot done on the domestic side of things I somehow forget to focus on seeing to my emotional issues - I am probably a terrible multi tasker for a female though!!!! My H has started to recognise this pattern t and knows that it goes in stages and seems to be a little bit out of my control so he is sympathetic to it - up to a point.

Good luck on your discussion with your W!!
