Well lynn except for that fact that I don't have kids, your sitch sounds a lot like mine. My W said a lot of the same things, however we have been going separately to the same counselor for a while now. I think she is very slowly coming around since she mentioned "After talking to the counselor we may start doing a few dates over the next couple months." Now my W is 25 but I think she is going through a MLC based on what I have read about MLC. I finally found and ordered a book that I can't wait to start reading. It is called "Surviving Your Wifes Midlife Crises" by Christine Carter Schaap. Her web site is http://www.pathpartners.com or http://www.surviveyourwifesmidlifecrises.com Fill out the claim your free sample chapter and it will then open a new page, you can scan over that info and see if that sounds like your W, I know a lot of it sounded like my W to a T. Let me know what you think.
