I miss being six years old and not having adult responsibilities too but I don't know that I'd ask my husband to indulge that in such destructive ways (he does pat my bottom before I go up to bed each night :-)

Enjoying being "hit on" sounds like your wife has a self esteem problem going on and is looking outside for its fulfillment. No amount of other guys hitting on her will be enough if she does not value herself first.

If she wants excitement, why is she not working at something instead of dismantling her primary relationship, getting attention for a job well done and/or putting her energy into making her family's life better rather than focusing on herself individually as if there were no family? One choice is to "build" what one wants as opposed to un-building what what has/doesn't seem to want anymore.

I have a niece who left her husband and two daughters to pursue her dream. I cannot understand it, can understand having a dream but can't understand not working on it within any constraints of being with the ones I love.
