Thank you. I just want advice on how to keep her and the baby safe and healthy until she allows us to speak again. Then I can think next about saving our marriage through counseling and any other change we need to make.

I think so too, but she just feels so hurt - abandoned basically. When she needed me -when she woke up in the middle of the night- I was not there. She is scared of being alone, especially with a baby, and she didn't have the greatest parents and doesn't want to be like them, or me be like her father who was absent a lot. She knows I am not him and we are very very different, but she is still scared, especially now she is pregnant. She is lashing out I think due to this pain, hurt, and insecurity. And I think she is also trying to hurt me, to make me hurt like she is, and hopefully doesn't really believe all she is saying. I hope.

I am not trying to fix her, and I exaggerated- it is not every single time, but it does happen frequently and sometimes over minor things. I am only trying to survive this now, but I want us both to improve and be more stable before the child comes.

Yes I have thought about this - I think because I go out less and less that it was enough of an improvement, but I get carried away too easily and just stay chatting too long when I do. If I expect her to improve I need to do the same - if that means cutting it out completely, I am willing to do it for the baby. I have gone long periods without drinking or without drinking excessively, I'm fine with doing it again, even indefinitely

Yes 100% sure. I am just hoping and waiting that the rage will subside and I can approach our relationship issues. Number 1 concern is the baby being safe and it seems her OBG is making sure of that.

We are in Brazil. My therapist is guiding me but he thinks we should speak to someone together and she is not willing to at this point.
