It seems your wife feels unfilled and doing something (i.e. setting up her business) that fulfills her. It has nothing to do with her not *needing* to work. Besides, the kid is not neglected (and they are 9). What if roles were reversed and *you* were the one out of employment. Would you be happy to live on your wife's salary just because you don't need to work? Would you be happy to be told to chill and just spend time with the kid? Would that be enough for you?

It it understandable that she wants to pursue her own business. As it has only been 12 months, of course *at the beginning* the grind will take over. This is what supportive partners do i.e. support one another's dreams and goals. And of course, that will require adjustments and sacrifices. That is par for the course and more importantly, that is temporary.

Again, put yourself in her shoes - you are not working, you just start a business and your partner is tired of supporting you and wants to golf and take the kid out. How would you feel? That does not seem very supportive at all.

IF it were 5 years down the line, fine but she only just started her business and now you want to pull the rug under her. Ouch. Support should not be a one-way street whereby if *you* are fulfilled, that ought to be enough for *her*.
