: So that's YOUR wife that they all pity for being un-equally yolked to an "inactive"?

I don't know if they pity her or not. These days she attends a congregation I attended before marrying her. All of the old-timers there know me pretty well. Although from what she's said, that particular congo is losing people very fast, and attendance is down bigtime. Which doesn't surprise me; it is an older congo in an affluent area with a negative growth rate in the last 10 years.

: About time for "SHEPHERD MEN" to pay a cordial
visit, no? Or how is it exactly that your wife keeps them from coming?

I'm sure they know why I don't attend. And I'm sure my wife has confided in them what our particular situation is. We and she have no need for any elders to visit us or her.

Really, we have a "textbook" arrangement for a successfully religiously divided household, when one spouse quits the religion outright.

The only real drawback is that I have a ton of friends, and she has none. So our social life is quite independent of each other.
