Bless your heart ~ it sure sounds like you're trying very hard -- but you're not going anywhere!! I'm so sorry.

Has your wife ever had any therapy to deal with the sexual abuse? This COULD have something to do with it -- she really needs to see a therapist to make sure this isn't tormenting her. Also, besides the sexual abuse, she obviously has other problems too. Perhaps it has something to do with the fact that she had to be responsible when she was younger, i.e. taking care of her siblings. Now she may want to just "do what she wants -- with NO responsibilities." We all know that isn't possible -- but she might want it that way anyway.

Try to get her to seek counseling -- and if she is reluctant, why not suggest couples counseling? That way you can go too for a visit or two, and then maybe the counselor will focus just on her. It's worth a try.

God bless & best of luck to you. Hang in there. Hugs, Lee
