If we are at home we just sit in front of a TV. I gave up to talk about my works, plans, government policies, books or even fashion. She will starting going simultaneously to English and Dutch classes from next week. Promise to give her the needed support but if she failed to do so, divorce will be the solution.
I see what you mean. Was she an engaging conversationalist, before moving? Could she be suffering through depression or were these traits you were unaware of. And never mind, being pregnant is exhausting, literally.
Sounds like you want more conversation from her? When you tell her this, how do you address it?
Maybe sign her up for culinary classes. With a baby on the way, certainly learning how to plan as nutritious as possible will matter. Skills will help make it routine, and cooking becomes less exhaustive. Are grocer items different, perhaps?

You aren't seeinh greener pastures, are you? Feel I should ask, keep yourself honest to yourself if you must.
Thanks for this!
