Cl Buddy,
Sorry to hear about W job. YES give her some space. I do not know how long she has been working but I was laid off after 28 years. I needed some time to think. Luckily I had a good severance package.

It will be 1 year since I was laid off on June 30th. I was devastated. Only thing worse was when I found out about W affair. Luckily there was some time between the two.

You sound good. Take things day by day.
My W was laid off two years before me and still has not had a perm ant job. I am starting to mention things about "It's time to start looking"
A question though… does it cost money to belong to all these dance groups? Be careful with your wife having time on her hands and wanting to join more if so.
ALSO even though you are working make an effort to do things with wife while she is out of work.
You don’t want her to get “bored” if you know what I mean.
Take care
Doc

And if I claim to be a wise man, well
It surely means that I don't know
