[quote=Anonymous]OP, I suggest at least a few sessions of couples counseling, just so you get all of this on the table, and both of you are required to make some definitive statements. I'm guessing that what's she's presenting to you as a kind of "wish" may have gone much further in her own mind and in counseling. Or, perhaps it's pure fantasy. A therapist can set the stage for honesty. Otherwise, I see a not-too-distant future where she comes home full of excitement because she quit, and she has so many plans ... and six months from now she's complaining and depressed, and doing no more than she was doing before, but simultaneously haranguing you to get a better-paying job. Have the difficult conversation before that happens and you are truly stuck. I think it will be easier in the therapist's office, especially if you think she's going to accuse you of not understanding, not being sympathetic, etc..[/quote]
