Dismissing, or really not even acknowledging, the fact that she made that comment is gaslighting, which is yet another abuse tactic.

Your wife sounds abusive, to me. Maybe it is time to reconsider the marriage and to think about leaving it. Abusers do not change, I have learned first hand. Therapy doesn't even help and can make it worse.
