Get thee to a counselor!

If she won't do it for herself, do it for the child. Children of mothers who suffer from depression are more likely to develop symptoms of mental health disorders themselves, as early as kindergarten! If she truly is depressed and doesn't get it treated, she's doing a world of harm to that child, on par with drinking or smoking during pregnancy.

She claims that she wants the marriage to work, but isn't acting like it. There are obviously some deeper issues than the ones that are being discussed on the surface. A counselor or therapist will allow you to identify those issues and address them, hopefully before things become even more complicated through the introduction of an infant.

Best of luck!
