Roist,

Some questions for you:

1. How much of your W's staying in your home/marriage unhappily just following her parents' example? Is she just staying there for financial reasons? for the kids? or is she also "standing" in her own way?

2. From your posts, it seems like both of you aren't the most forthcoming with your feelings, so resentment builds up on both sides. Is that correct? If so, what are you doing to change that dynamic?

3. How does your dynamic with your W affect your children? They are old enough to be able to perceive things, but I'm guessing not old enough to articulate their feelings about those thing.
