[quote=Anonymous]OP, I have a dear friend in your wife's situation (really, I thought you were her DH, except for the arrest info!)

She is multilingual, has multiple master's degrees, etc. but ever since she and her DH came back from a few years working abroad, she just hasn't found her way back to employment. She's tried like 5 different new careers.

She is so different now: depressed, down in herself, discouraged.  She comes from an Asian family where success is expected, and these years drifting have done a number on her.  Her DH is doing great at work, meanwhile.  And where she used to be loving to him, so affectionate, she is now snapping, cruel, sarcastic, and bitter toward him.  It's uncomfortable to be around them, actually.

She's working a retail job now, just to get out of the house, finally.  It's way beneath her international skills and degrees.

For now, friend, I just root for your marriage and hope you can convince her to go to counseling.  If you're who I'm guessing, I know she still loves you.  She just doesn't love herself now.[/quote]
