3) I know it is a cliche, but is she depressed, struggling with hormones etc?
4) Try to get counciling, as it will provide a safe place for you to talk.

Good luck
Thanks for your comments. She has had some psychological issues in the past and I beleive these may still be an issue but very difficult to talk about with her as i feel it would put her on the defensive. Her mother is very religious (Jehovah's witness) and my wife has been a part of this religion for a time before realising it wasn't for her and leaving. She is not on best terms with her mum at the moment and I do think that this is affecting her presently. Hormones, I'm not sure but she has had some women problems which resulted in surgery on a burst ovarian cyst in January. Perhaps this could be another factor? I am going to get some help, perhaps she will join me but otherwise I will continue on my path alone but I am certain that I will come out the other side a better person and wiser and hopefully a better dad for my children.
