I have been married for nearly 4 years. My wife is currently pregnant with our first child. This started before she was pregnant. We game a lot together (specifically call of duty). This really brings her bad side, it comes out other times as well. For example last night we were playing. I had to work early so I told her one last game. We start playing. She gets us kicked. I say ok I will play another. Game starts she throws a grenade, hits me with it, which kills her. She refuses to finish playing and backs us out. Next game she does the same thing. Then she kills a team mate and gets us kicked and put on 5 minute probation. I told her I was heading to bed. She got mad and I told her if she had not gotten us kicked we could have finished the game. She said (as best I can remember) "it is your fault you little *****. If you had not walked into my ****ing grenade then we wouldn't have gotten kicked *****". This is pretty typical. Lately s he had been calling me a ***** quite frequently when we play. The other thing she likes to do is just completely shut me out. Won't talk to me, won't respond, just sits there like I don't exist.
It is not only video games. I have never had so many four letter words thrown my way during a game of scrabble. She just belittles and yells at me. When I told her I do not appreciate the silent treatment she told me "tough ****, you have the rest of your life to deal with it".
It seems to me that she is coming very close, if not crossing the line into, verbal abuse. I have suggested counselling and she told me that the only one who needed counselling was me.
I am at a loss for what to do. And just for background on me. I am a professional and make a good living. I do all of the cooking in the house, take care of the yard, do probably 90+% of the dishes/laundry. Honestly I am sort of scared for my son and worried how she will treat him.
Edit: Let me add, I do the laundry, dishes, and cooking because otherwise we would have no clean dishes or clothes and nothing to eat. This all started long before the pregnancy. She is 26 weeks along and we have not had sex once during the pregnancy.
