[quote=Anonymous]OP - would it help if you find a babysitter for the kids for a week or so and you and she go plan an adventure?

I wasn't married when I came back from living overseas and traveling all the time, but I did come back to a situation where I had a lot less freedom (less money and less time) than I did when I was abroad. Sometimes I was ok with it, sometimes it made me despair that I was never going to have another adventure in my whole life. I realize this isn't a sympathetic way to feel - it's awfully privileged even to think that your life should have freedom and adventure - but it's how I felt. When I did jobs that I hated, and there's been a few, it got even worse.

Just having some adventure to look forward to might help, in the short term. Go somewhere exciting for a week. Even a weekend. Just something that makes your wife feel like not everything is going to be some endless routine from now on.

Sounds like you had a wonderfully productive and positive conversation about how to plan for her to find something new, too. That's great.[/quote]
