Your W sounds a bit confused.......either that or she likes to paper over difficult social situations.
When was the last time your W worked full time?.....and how is the market now for her skill set? If she had to support herself would her parents foot the bill?
GAG
My W is the consummate pleaser/fixer. And she does NOT discuss her displeasure. Just covers it up. Her IC who gave the D a greeen light, thank you) told her this too.
My W worked for 1-2 months earlier this year (July-Aug). She is very good at what she does, there just isn't a good labor market here (like everywhere else).
I think her parents would fund a D (her grandfather funded her mom's - TOTALLY different circumstances) but I do NOT think they would subsidize her living expenses.
I am pretty sure we have reached a point of me getting a sep. cheking account, taking back all the bills, her lokking for A job, not THE job, and me asking her to move out. Not going to do anything until a couple of days have passed (48 hr. rule). But, it pains me to say this, but I'm done. I would still want to save the M, but I can't do it all by myself forever.
