Wife knows she has a problem

The first step to correction of any problem is the realization there is a problem. Whether systemic, or one off in nature, it is much easier to address at that point. However some things just cannot be talked about openly with those close and require outside confidence.

Not a fan of therapy as always half a bubble off level myself, but have been through similar with my wife when raising teenagers and the headaches/heartaches they generate during those years. This along with the high stress environment a corporate paycheck requires.

She actually has another serious problem which is strictly of mental nature in that she married it 44 years ago and it ain't went away yet.....

I had Covid back in April along with the double pneumonia that accompanied it. Burning up and freezing at the same time while struggling to breath for a spell; I remember the time well. Wife come down with it too but no real symptoms other than a positive test.

I wish the best as the future is bright after taking that first step. 

Last one wanted NOTHING of Spouse inclusion, the one prior to that woman WANTED my input as to what was being seen.

Brought it to wife to try vacation at Lake, fishing, water sports, invite friends, go camping.  All was fine first one or two visits, then TOTAL Disinterest, she had to work too hard to get to play time.  Same for Boating, or going to Federal and National parks, even bought Annual passes to get in at a special buy price, lost interest in a few visits.  Motorcycling, had one when got married, was all fun and great to be on then got hurt(NOT riding) and she demanded it go away so sold it.  Nearly twenty years later it was new again and we put close to 50,000 miles touring traveling on two wheels I Found and Bought, she became interested in a newer ride, the one we have now, could not take EVERYTHING every ride so lost interest, can barely get her on it for a local run around ride.  Brought up KW, explained "Would need SERIOUS Time and Effort but will pull a nice camper", again loved the idea until been into it a year a WHOLE Year and she is now bored with that, not sure even wants or wanted to do the RV thing.  Has lost ANY desire to ride long distance motorcycling now.

And as the 12 year brat does, she takes off shoes and socks, drops them where they land and walks away, may stay there three to five days before moves them 'away' or washes the socks or wears the shoes.  Mail comes in gets opened and dropped to counter, bills and all the flyers in them get bundled up into a pile then the pile moved to an area of more piles, NEVER sorts or puts away, just shuffles.  Clothing gets washed/dried, makes multiple trips into laundry(Ground Floor of House) NEVER ONCE carries ANY clean clothing Back until ALL hers is done.  Sits it on bedroom furnishings and walks back to TV.  I wash my own stuff, as a load finishes drying fold, carry to bedroom put away.  She glares as I do this.  Once even asked why I bothered to carry so little to bedroom so many times.

And her Sis commented of that as well, got the same glare and silent treatment.
