Quite simply; therapy! It's not your job to "counsel" your wife professionally. She sounds as though she’d definitely benefit from counseling. Not just marriage counseling, but individual as well. She may have a chemical/hormonal thing going on too as others have mentioned. At any rate, she sounds unhappy. Her perspective can change, but she needs encouragement and patience. People don’t change over night. With a child involved, I’d imagine your first choice wouldn’t be to give up on the commitment you made to each other, but to find a way to make things better.
Do you guys go to a church? If so, does it offer small groups? I know at my church there’s a course called, “Marriage Matters” which has been helpful to couples either struggling with their already existing relationship or couples that are engaged. I hope this doesn’t offend you, but I just thought I’d throw that out there!
I would definitely sit down with her and seriously discuss your unhappiness, and the possibility of her going to see a professional, preferably a medical doctor/psychiatrist.
