Or maybe use the term "leave the situation"... she seems to want to sidestep run.
BUt more to the point OIN, you need to say it and WALK AWAY.
You turn that into an argument and you will always lose. ARgument demands rationality... and your wife isn't willing to play that game. TO have a rational conversation you both have to follow the rules.
The best thing to do is come up with some really good heavy hitters for her and say them and t hen walk away... It gives what you said time to resonate in her head... when some comes up with a sidestep to it, no matter how pathetic it allows her to ignore hwat you said... GET THE LAST WORD IN.
Even if your wife leaves, the dog stays there... don't let her take the dog too.
SHe wants to leave, tell her the dog stays with the home she's abaondoning... the dog isn't abaonding the home, she is.
SHe may need a few weeks there to start missing the home... It does happen.
