It might be something she's always had and so she's never really thought about it as being out of the ordinary, and neither have you, but that kind of laziness is abnormal. Counseling, a visit to the doctor--all of these things may be in order--counseling especially since this seems to be putting quite a strain on your marriage.

Now ya know, I hadn't thought of that. As she was recently laid off, I do suppose that is a very real possibility. I can certainly understand that. Thanks for the thought, I will talk with her about that. Having suffered from it myself for a little while, I can understand how it interferes with that. However, during my depression, it went the opposite way, but each to a different drummer.
Thank you very much for the insightful reply!
Willtravel, a part of me believes that as well. At first all of it did, but after onesnowyowl's post, there is another part of me kicking myself for being such a twat. Still, I agree with you. At some point one has to stop ignoring one's responsibilities around the house.
