Thing you need to understand though is your wife doesn't view your time as "free" at this point. I think she made that abundantly clear in your text exchange. The whole job thing is an obvious big thorn in her side, so do what you need to in order to remove it or at least pull it out somewhat.
Nothing.
She stuck it in, she can pull it out.
That sounds harsh, but when confronted with the "facts" that I have an interview, she dismissed it, said I wasn't doing enough, blah blah blah. Not all the time, but most. So, there was a glimmer when I got the interview (I'm actually several stages through a multi-stage process), she seemed relieved, happy, etc etc.
She wants me to make it go faster or get another job.
Listen, the "real" issue is I am conducting the job search according to advice of some professional HR types and my schedule and desires. I can only do so much at one time. Last job search she did help a lot, there were good qualities there, but I also applied some places I had no interest in "because she said". I spent the time in an effort to keep the peace, plus it is good practice.
But, at end of last job search she and I both agreed that next one would be different. At least that is what she said. She doesn't like this way of doing it.
