[quote=Anonymous]I agree with above - your wife is looking around and realizing that her future is bleak - no career, demands of house and child rearing, and  a less than perfect marriage. I think your best move is to help her change that future - help her (don't just say you support) find a new job, take on additional responsibilities at home or at least outsource the house cleaning/cooking/carpool driving) - spend some time with her doing things you both enjoy.

I feel like I was your wife 10 years ago - I made the decision to stay home with the kids without question and I don't regret that- but at some point when the kids were in school, I was really tired of not having my own career, feeling the burden of all the household/child care, and watching my husband pursue his career and outside interests. We figured it out - he didn't just say he supported me, he helped re-write my resume, he used connections to help network, he watched the kids as I took seminars in "on-ramping" and, when I got a job (which I still love), he took on additional responsibilities and provided a great sounding board for return to work issues.[/quote]
