[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm OP. From what I know, DW quit her job because she wasn't happy there with the idea of looking for something else. That went by the wayside after our second arrived and basically stopped completely. There wasn't much said beyond "this is what I want to do now." When I tried to encourage her job hunting efforts, they just got shut down as something she's not interested in pursuing. So, yes. There was a gap of communication, but really there wasn't much left for me to do but accept it. Which I am working on in therapy, but is difficult because this isn't the life I wanted or the type of marriage I had planned on.

Like I said, things are really lopsided and unbalanced. [/quote]

Have you thought about marriage counseling?  Because there is definitely more to it than that, and you need to understand where she is coming from.

Don't know your ages or how long it took to have children.  They grow up so quickly. By early elementary, they are more into their friends than parents. She may just want to spend time with the kids while they still think she is the center of the universe.  [/quote]
