Spouse wants to Pursue an Acting Career

My wife has told me that when our children are older (possibly still living at home but teens/young adults), that she would like to move to California for 3 to 6 months to pursue a professional acting career. This would involve leaving me behind to deal with the kid and everything else. I know that this is her dream and I really want support her. She wasn't encouraged to pursue this dream growing up. She does perform locally in community theatre and she is quite good and has even won an award. She started acting in these productions with my support and encouragement when our first child was less than a year old. I have reservations about her leaving one day. If she become successful, I'll have to figure out how to join her by finding work, (I am think that I will also be financially helping to support her endeavor to some extent while she tries to see if she can become a professional actress). She has made so many friends (both male and femal e) who have a common interest in performing. Aside from inviting me to cast parties, she doesn't really want me to be part of her circle of friends. I feel like she has grown quite a lot while I have not (which I take responsiblity for). I love her but we don't hav much and common. We don't have any activities we do together except watch TV or play scrabble, and talk. We also don't have any common adult friends that we share together. She says she loves me, but I feel like she's not in love with me anymore. There isn't much sexual interest on her part, and I take responsiblity for that. I've been a good provider, but I haven't always put her first and I've went back to some big decisions due to my Anxiety problem which has cause a lack of trust on her part in me. I've been seeking professional counseling and medical mental health health for my issues. I've been much more helpful around the house and caring of my wife's needs for the last month. She says she needs time to build her trust back in me and that with that trust and caring will help to bring her to feel attraction and love to me. 1. What might you do? 2. What questions might you ask her about her plans for acting and including me in them? 3. I am looking for any advice, insights, or advice you can offer. Thank you.
