now40,
I think she knows there is a problem but doesn't attach much importance to it. For example: As far as shopping is concerned I am ND. If she said to me that if I don't do the food shopping with her once a week our marriage is in trouble. I'll listen for a while, maybe go shopping once or twice then things will go back to how they were.
BTW if you make one more posting you will be a "Member"!
