It's pretty bad right now. She has bi monthly episodes that last for a few days when she won't talk hardly at all. I can't do the things I want to do. She says I don't pay enough attention to her. That's probably true to a degree but I try to converse often enough to satisfy her. She wants me to go out for coffee everyday with my retired friends. 'No thank you'! But I do occasionally. It's like she doesnt want me doing the web surfing or music and would rather I mindlessly sit and talk with friends. She works very hard at the hospital kitchen many hours a week. Comes home and lies on the couch watching Everybody Loves Raymond in her free time. Yet I can't read on the computer or work on music. I'm very considerate of her with the noise. She likes to mix a couple scotch's with an Ambien fairly often. Outer Space! I'm too old and don't have the money to leave.
It sounds like there's more going on than her just not wanting you to do the things you enjoy. People don't typically mix alcohol and Ambien. Ambien should really be a last-resort sleep aid anyway. Talk about the Devil's Aspirin.

It really sounds like you both need couples counseling, but maybe more importantly, it sounds like she may need more/better counseling herself. The mixing Ambien with alcohol really concerns me and sounds like depression or something worse is shutting her down badly.
