Are you excited about anything in your life? If not, why not? If yes, do you tell your wife about it? It will be difficult for her to be excited over you, if you’re not excited about your own life. Start really enjoying your life and she may decide to join in. …Or be jealous and angry with herself for being a mope and not doing anything…
^^^ but that can be a good thing as it pushes her outside the box she is stuck in.
Is there anything W ever shows interest in? Do you ever try to foster or engage in these interests?
I like to engage and monitor. If she’s receptive, we talk/do stuff together. If she’s not, I’m off and gone, got stuff to do.
Bottom line is she does need time and space. You can’t fix whatever issues she is going through right now, she has to do it for herself. But you can support her. And you guys can have some good times together during this period.
M: A really long time. Crisis: 5 years. She's still worth it.
