@porfe81, I'm sure you were hopeful when your wife finally agreed to go out for a walk that she would enjoy the change of scenery, the outdoors, nature, the shared moment. Do you think the change of place made her feel anxious instead? Has she expressed any comments about wanting to try again?

Are you still able to go out for yourself?

Hopeful, yes, and in that aspect the fault is mine. Outside the home, she tends to be a little anxious and wants to return before too long. I do get out by myself, when I can, as she is able to stay at home by herself for awhile. I just need to remind myself that this is our new reality.
