Well, this worked out for the better. On the way home, I had already decided against having family/friends intervene, and decided that we needed to talk about it. I brought it up as calmly and gently as possible and it turns out that her mother had earlier that day mentioned a family friend who asked if my wife was available to work at his vet clinic. (Something she has experience with) A brief discussion later, and she's agreed to look into it.
On one hand, I'm disappointed in myself for not having the confidence to bring it up in the first place as well as not giving her the credit for recognizing the situation.
On the other hand, I'm REALLY happy I didn't go through with asking the relatives.....
Sometimes things work out.
