I can understand your frustrations if she's not motivated to do anything for herself even if it isn't that you want her to get a job so much. A job is just one thing she could do. A year may seem like a long time in terms of waiting for her to get started but if she has been working all her life and now it's been just under 12 months of not working, it may be shorter in those terms than you might think. She might still not even be used to being at home all the time.

It could well be depression but without hearing her situation first hand let alone not being a doctor I can't say. I will say this from experience related to being out of work and stuck at home. I was out of a job for several weeks not long ago. I had a job but couldn't get there and in every way it sapped me of energy, of motivation and ambition. It was a depressing situation... if it had been a year I surely would have been affected negatively by it.

I'd explore possibilites with finding out if she's depressed, but not only that, see if you can find a way spark some interest in a hobby or something. Bring people around that are mutual friends, get out, do things and such. maybe you've already tried that... but you can't give up on that.

You sound like a good man. See if you can't find a way to break her out of her rut
