- She refused to drive because she is afraid she will wreck the car. - She has no interest in cooking so I just kind of stepped up years ago so that we could eat good food. - She does minimal cleaning so when something gets too dirty for my taste I just clean it myself.
Are you sure this is you just "stepping in"? Honestly, it sounds like maybe shes worried she cant meet your standards. You say she is a stay at home mom, but what is she DOING while staying at home?
Id recommend you read a lot of the advice given to Mowgli early in his sitch. It sounds similar to this one.

She will only tell me that she is "sad" and "working some things out". she said that the space had improved things for her somewhat but she showed no evidence of this improvement to me because she is still sad and we are not talking or intimate.
So, I would imagine that she will continue this way as long as you dont 'rock the boat'. Can you continue living in this fashion for forever?
