Wife want to spread her wings

[dino]

My wife told me she loves me and I'm a good father as well as husband. She says that she knows I love her and that I would do anything for her but she don't know herself. Money is not an issue.
She married me in 1989 just after she graduated highschool and she says now that being a mother and a wife is all she has ever known. She has the urge to spread her own wings.
I love her with all my heart and don't know how or even want to live without her. What is happening? What can I do?

Dear Dino,

I can understand that perhaps she feels she has missed out on some opportunities. ISsit possible to allow her to spread her wings in other ways rather than finding another man.

Does she have some ambition that she would like to fulfil or somewhere she'd like to travel to? Would she like to train to do something new or take a degree.

I stayed at home to have the children and my husbadn has encouraged me to try out some new avenues in life and develop my gifts and skills and that has helped me to cope with some of the aspects of motherhood that leave one feeling tied down.
