Answer

Firstly, may Allah reward you for you for your patience.

We strongly advise you and your wife to seek professional counselling if you have genuine hope of remaining married to her. It is important to try to determine the root of the problem and the primary cause of her behaviour.

If after exhausting all avenues you see that the problem has not been resolved, and the situation is very unlikely to improve, then it may be best for you to end your relationship with her.

Only Allah knows best.
