GAL part already has weekly 'get out of house with friends', movies, drinks or something fun. Mundane things are only @home, do you suggest I take out my wife out and do something fun with her? IDK how that would benefit relationship or DB?

I meant something fun that breaks up the mundane. If your GAL is getting repetitive, then look for ways to break it up.
For me, I am planning on Skydiving and learning to ride a motorcycle. Now my IC says these are life threatening type activities and finds it interesting that I would choose these. But for me it is more about getting an adrenaline rush that is for fun and not anxiety. And moe important it is for my self confidence. I tend to play it safe and prefer routine, some would call it mundane, so O am going to step outside the lines here.
Now don't get me wrong, I am not saying these choices are for everyone, but mixing it up breaks up the mundane. I think in our situations breaking up the mundane is key for our progress. IMHO.

Now you mention it, friend that is taking aviating classes has offered me introductory course (in his club) for some price like 70€, with instructor flying over city and around.
I have always wanted to fly, ever since as a kid I read books from Richard Bach, but never took the effort to make it, and yeah, since I am married W always forbid me to do it 'at least until daughter turns 18'.
It is not risk-free activity, but also not too dangerous.
Thanks for the idea!

Yesterday awkward talk - she started with talk that last year she found some picture of a girl sitting near me on a coffee (at work). Last year I confirmed, and said that few times a week if it is nice time outside we go for a quick coffee with whole team.
So yesterday she said that I suddenly stopped talking about coffees at work (well, nothing to say about that) and that she suddenly got HPV virus, and that I was cheating... well that escalated quickly...
I just said that I am loyal and that I have not slept with any other woman... well the truth...
This morning she came just to say she still does not believe me.
Perfect opportunity to detach... not my problem...

Just rereading last post I made... to clarify: I confirmed that I go to coffee at work with co-workers (not confirmed anything else because there is not anything else).
This says a lot about her level of trust.

I'm not talking about the coffee incident, I just wonder if you've done anything in the past that would cause her to feel you're less than trustworthy.
I am the definition of trust, so my thoughts is that she is reflecting her own fears and insecurities.

Often times, the W will put the spot light on whatever she can find to make the H appear guilty of the same thing she may have done. She will accuse and blame, and blow it out of proportion. It gives her a sense of justification.
Stay focused on your goals, and whenever she digs to find whatever she can to pin on you............just shake your head, give a small laugh, and move on. You are not required to give an account of nonsense.
It is not about what you feel should work in your M. It is about doing the work that gets the right results. Do what works!
