I have to say I doubt the issue is about her having to quit her job, etc. She is obviously to the point where she is thinking of all the things that have made her mad at you, and it just fuels the fire so to speak. Luckily there is a decent chance for you still. Marriage counseling can work, but it has to be the right marriage counselor. If both of you do not like the person, change immediately.
I really see the biggest issue is that she feels she can't talk to you (whether through lack of time, you being busy, etc.). Her saying that she was upset you wouldn't walk with her is female speak that she wanted to spend some quality time with you away from outside interferences and you "rejected" her. Even though what you turned down was a walk, she isn't taking it that way. You absolutely must sit down and let her vent. Then you must make changes in how you two communicate. This means that you need to have long talks at least once per day if not more. You have to be willing to listen to her without trying to "solve" her problems.
I went through something very similar to this about 8 years ago, and my wife and I made it and are happier than ever. PM if you need to talk more directly.
