I don't think you've ever mentioned that your wife was married before. Normally I wouldn't think this were odd at all except that in the photo's of her you have shared she looks so damned young.

As for the hole in the yard, have you or lil ever watched the series Walking Dead? There is a scene where one of the characters just begins digging non stop. He begins doing it, so it seems to reenact the burial of his family. -Not sure that's relevant here.

I would guess that for some "diggers" it is a manifestation of OCD.
