OP here. Yes she asked for help.

Okay. So what happens when you give her all these ideas for help and she doesn't act on them?[/quote]

They get divorced, duh. No one is ever allowed to work through an issue successfully on DCUM.

OP, keep on it. I second the therapist/coach idea. My spouse is in the midst of a similar issue (he's a SAHD) and while it's annoying to listen to him go on and on about "purpose" when I spend 60 hours a week working to keep a roof over our heads, you have to realize that they just don't get it because they don't have the pressure to make a living. So, please be careful about getting resentful and annoyed when you spouse navel gazes. That was the biggest benefit of bringing a third party in -- I didn't have to listen to this and he could vent and brainstorm with someone who wasn't annoyed with him for not just getting a damn job like the rest of us. It's surprising helped and things are much better at home. He's got interviews this week and we'll see, although I doubt he really will ever understand what I go through in terms of work pressure and being the main income earner for him to have the luxury of finding his calling.[/quote]
