Would like advice - Wife doesn't work, no kids

Hi all. I'm very new to these forums & I pretty much signed up to get an opinion on what I should do. I'm pretty sure this has been discussed to death before but I believe every case is different due to whatever underlying factors there may be, so here goes. I've been married to my wife for what would soon be 4 years. We've known each other for about 6 and were introduced by mutual friends. We're both educated & we live in a rented 3 bedroom apartment in the city & my work is a 10 minute walk away from where I live. We have no kids (but we have a dog) & I understand that she doesn't want kids either (it was something we had already discussed before marriage & we both agreed not to have kids). We have a maid that does all the cleaning & laundry for us. The reason why I'm writing this is, I'm not really happy that she's, well, lazy! She doesn't do anything at all. She stays at home all day & watches the telly. She's "tried" working before (after much insistence from me - plus, I had to pull strings to get her that job, it was for a national carrier) but resigned after a year as she said that it was stressing her out. Being the softie that I am I told her that it was ok & she could take her time finding a new job since I could support the both of us on my pay package. BIG MISTAKE on my part. She hasn't found a job since (this was 3 years ago) & she always gives the same reasons ("I don't like stress", "The salary is so low", "I don't have a future in that Company" etc etc). I'm actually a departmental head in the Company I work for & I've told her that if she wanted, I could have a chat with our HR guy & she'd be able to get a job, but she was like "Oh no, I know how stressful it is working there" etc. So, like I said, she stays at home all day. Doesn't go out, at all (unless I bring her out). I buy or cook dinner every single blo*dy night (she can't cook). We once ran out of drinking water in our apartment & there was a grocery store right opposite the road. She actually phoned me while I was at work to say that we've run out of drinking water & that she & the dog were thirsty. I had to basically drop everything, walk 10 minutes back, get water for her & run back to work. So, my mom came to visit me today since my wife is on holiday. She goes off somewhere with her brother/ friends every 3 or 4 months, and yes I have to pay for it. And I basically talked about all these grievances with my mom. My mom also took the initiative & spoke to our maid and interestingly, our maid actually told my mom what a "lazy b**ch" my wife was (actual words), of how I have to work, cook dinner & all she does is sit around watching T.V. Ok so, now, my mom is asking me to seriously re-consider this marriage. I was shrugging it off today until my wife called me at night (after my mom went back) & told me that she needed more money. I then asked her what happened and she went on to rant about how her sister's husband just bought her a house & now they have 2 houses and why won't I buy her this/ that etc etc (technically, I found out that it was her husband's dad that bought the house, and yes, the dad is loaded, a legislator or politician or something) and she actually told me that if i had no money, I should beg, borrow or steal it from my family (I said no & she complained about how cheap my parents were compared to her sister's husband). At that point I think I snapped. I just shut my mouth, told her I wasn't feeling well & that I'd call her tomorrow. Right now, I seriously don't know if I should consider divorcing her or not. I love my parents-in-law (they're really great people, really understanding folk) but their daughter just sucks! Since my mom is already asking me to think about separation, I assume my parents would be ok with it, I'm just worried about how it would affect my parents-in-law. So yes, there's my story. Kudos to those that have went through all of this and sincere apologies about the wall of text. I would really appreciate any thoughts, comments or opinion on the matter and again to all here, thank you.
