Rereading that, it sounds like Friend Zone, and I should have been more distant, doing things that were interesting by myself. Ugh. This stuff is impossible.
I don't know that the Friend Zone is bad in your sitch. Last I remember, there was no OM and your wife wasn't being wild or irresponsible.
I'm not sure shutting down the friendship is going to help win her back.
But, maybe I'm wrong. The gender difference might be as significant as the wandering/walk away difference.
