Thnaks for the comments GH. Yes, I agree, I hear what she is saying and I have asked at times what it is that she would like to do. I really get no specific answers and thus am left to wonder what it is that I can do. I understand that she wants more out of life than being mom of the year and I completely support her in this. What's funny is that both of us, over the past couple of years, have been actually doing more things outside the home than we ever did. Our girls are getting to an age that finding babbysitters is not that hard and we've been on several outings (football games, concerts, etc). These things were fun to her as well as to me.

I do suggest outings for us, but they never seem to come about. Sadly, I think the "excitement" she is alluding to has more to do with OM than it has to do with me. At the very least, she is a crossroads in her own life where she is questioning a lot about herself.
