[quote=Anonymous]Why is everyone piling on the OP?  Clearly he has made some mistakes but it doesn't sound like his DW has acted without reproach either and her expectations about not having to work sound really antiquated in this day and age.

OP, I've had times of estrangement from my DH although it never went on as long as your has.  I understand the pain, sadness and loneliness. But, you have ONE life, that's it and it is over before you know it.  It sounds like you have grown really passive with the state of your marriage.  You are in a really complicated situation - there is no easy answer to improve your marriage and family life, but you do need to take charge and try SOMETHING.  If your DW refuses to go to counseling, go on your own.  Make a meaningful commitment to yourself and your family that by your next anniversary you will be in a better place.  A good counselor will be able to help you find a way to break through to your wife and hopefully, eventually convince her to agree to marriage counseling too.  If you try everything and it fails, at least you will gain the tools to meaningfully consider your options rather then just accept the lonely empty life you are living now.  Good luck.  Things can get better.
