[quote=Anonymous]OP, it sounds like you're in a really tough situation.
PP's- it's been FIVE YEARS of her supposedly looking for work. That's a long ass time.  This doesn't seem to be a case of the OP needing to get off his wife's back.  If she's acting like she wants/needs a job, and isn't out trying to find one or being even a little aggressive about the job search, of course OP is concerned. 
Either wife is lying and wants to be a SAHM (going on year ten it looks like? four years abroad, five years home?) but won't discuss this with husband, or she really does want a job but is depressed, lazy, or needs to simply re-prioritize her tools for success. Either way, OP, you need to figure this out via counseling and/or a frank, open discussion with your wife.

If your wife talked to you in a calm, non-hostile tone, and actually was open about what her feelings were on this whole thing- wouldn't you be more open to hearing her out, understanding where her frustrations lie, and what you can do to help and help her find happiness?  Even if it was volunteering or a part-time position somewhere?

I get the feelin OP that you are frustrated with her verbal abuse, resentment, and embellishment of job search details. [/quote]
