wowzers. She's fvcked up.

Piss off, douchebag. Thanks.

It's ok. Wish I had known what things were going to be like before marriage. There was simply no warning, and we dated for a long time.

Then she deliberately misrepresented herself to you with regard to the marriage.

Have sex with her sister. That'll shut her up!

Go walking or hiking together. You don't *have* to talk (if she doesn't want to) with each other during, but you're doing it together. Physical exercise is important during depression.
Is one of her parents a negative or critical or analytical person? Angry? If so, that's the environment she grew up in and it's a "normal" response for her per a given situation or state of mind.
Having a feeling of accomplishment is also important--doesn't matter how little the accomplishment is.
Doing things she loves, even if it was something she loved during childhood or high school or early 20's, is important.
Remember that anything that she interprets as negative will feed her depression, like house being dirty, screwing something up, etc.
It's important that she not be immobile.

Dump her.

Edit-seriously, if you can't talk to her rationally you're fvcked. You need to ditch the bitch. Might be just the wake up call she needs.

Go to counseling with her and get some feedback from the counselor on how you can help / not get sucked into it too. That's a tough situation for you. I hope you and she come out of it okay.

..I hear excercise does well. Keep her away from booze..will greatly intensify depression.
