I have insisted that I will not be pushed from the nest. That frustrated her to the point that she physically beat me three weeks ago.
I don't know how forcefully she hit you, but this goes beyond the normal bounds of a marriage. She needs to go to counseling. You could file a police report. She would go before a judge and you could get him to require counseling. It's a lot of hassle and expense, but if she is a bullying you, the judge will put her in her place.
