Your W may be suffering from there has to be more to life than this. Marriages can become stale with the day to day monotony of life. Like the movie Groundhog Day life can be like that.

I think the day to day definitely got to both of us. I did mention that things are really hard right now. We have a 1.5 year old. We spend 11 hours a day away from home (working/commute). By the time we have dinner, get S to bed, and get ready for the next day, we have 30 minutes to ourselves. And that time is spent in front of the TV trying not to fall asleep.
I'm sure ANYTHING sounds better than that.
Heck, even I've enjoyed the evening or two "off" lately when she's watched S.

She hates where you live well that easily fixable. I'm sure you could both compromise and find a place that is suitable for both of you. You didn't just go out and buy the house without her did you?
I agree. I've proposed moving. I've told her living in the suburbs isn't an important issue to me anymore. As much as I enjoy working in large yard, I've learned that there are so many things I enjoy doing more.

It sure sounds like she drinks a lot. What needs to change since she said things won't change if she came home?

1. Communication. We are horrible at it and fight too much.
2. Sex life is stale.
3. I needed to schedule dates and plan things to do in the city. (I failed to do this.)
