Hello,
I am in a somewhat similar situation but I am the husband. My wife has all the sudden starting feeling like she wants to live life a little more. She has starting going out with her friends a couple times a week and even went out of town for a few days. She says that she is missing something and needs to find herself.
We are in counseling now and trying to work through this time. When being married for a long time you can get stuck in a rut. Taking care of the kids, finances, work, etc... You start doing what you think you are supposed to do with a family and start disconnecting with your spouse. Then you start feeling like you don't have your own personality and maybe you start thinking that this is not the way you want to live your life.
You guys need to reconnect. We are in the beginning stages of trying to work these issues out but we are now communicating our feelings and coming up with ways to get out of this rut. Even though she was the one that said she needed to live life I now am starting to feel the same way.
Anyways, this is my situation and yours might be different but my point is you guys have been married a long time and need to try to work it out. You say you might regret not getting out but I think you might regret more that you didn't try to work things out. Good luck!
