Hello Newworldslacker,
It is very hard to go inactive and stay that way when you have a wife who is active. I don't have experience in that department, because I am not married just yet. My fiancee is not a JW, thank gawd. My advise to you is don't let on to your wife or relatives that you don't plan on going anymore. Shunning will result, and possably a broken marriage. Perhaps moderation is needed, you might have no choice but to go sometimes, just to keep the peace. This was the case with my late father. Before he died, he was constantly harrassing me about going to the Kingdom Hall. The only way I could satisfy him was to go about twice a month, and turn in a couple hours of service time each month. It does not matter if you are ever seen in service, because the elders are either too old or too busy to notice. Finally, try to relax, because the world is not ending. I guarantee tomorrow is just another day, and there is no such thing as this old system, and the new system to come.
