I was off for about 16 years. When I played younger, I played on center and have a mismatch on my lower teeth right in the middle. Growing up, it worked itself into a callus on the inner lip. After 16 years, the callus was no longer there and I could no longer use that position to have my embouchure. I HAD to change my embouchure. Now this has worked well for me, but, would not suggest it right off. Get to know playing again and see what feels right for you. But, take it slow, get your sound back. The fact that you have scales going and your wife is surprised, is good. You are already moving forward. Keep going. Good luck.
