Doc, It seems lately that you have been going down some cheeseless tunnels, nothing drastic, just small setbacks. Maybe you could start going out and being a little mysterious. Go to a bookstore and read, go to a park and go for a walk, do something for yourself. It doesn't have to cost money. Just don't always keep your wife informed. I'm not saying play games, just be a little mysterious. Be in a cheerful mood when you get home. You know how the old saying goes, "Smile it makes people wonder what you are up to." I hate to say it, but I almost think your wife is going to have to think she is in danger of losing you. Maybe she needs a little bit of a chase. I know this sounds like game playing, but there is a chapter in DR that talks about being mysterious.
I may be off base here, but just a thought...
