Ovrrnbw, I'm a little late responding but yes if I were you I'd text her the correct number. I sympathize with you a lot and I feel sorry to hear you had to endure excessive beatings as a kid and that you felt you may have smacked your puppy too hard. There's so much to process right now. I'd say to do the best you can with your wife and work to stabilize yourself. This is a temporary hardship but you'll be ok once you relax a bit and clear your mind. You're a human being, not a machine! This is an extraordinarily difficult situation. If your wife gets into counseling hopefully that'll help her figure out what she's doing. It's easy for people here to tell you what to do but that's with only a tiny glimpse of your situation and life. You sound like you have good judgment. If it's not today or tomorrow you'll figure out the right thing to do soon. Take care!
