I think you're expecting things of your W at this time that she just can't give you.
That's definitely another understatement. I basically have to 're-learn' how to interact with my wife again...sort of as if we just met...but just so happen to be married and have two children to raise. It's soooooooo trial-and-error to try and figure out what works and what doesn't.
Anyhow, I have a serious question. I read somewhere that it sometimes takes an external crisis to bring a person out of mid-life crisis. Do any of you all here have any experience/insight on this possibility? If my question is vague I can expand on what I mean, and why I am asking this question.
