<human>: My wife is quite serious about leaving me because she has been depressed for about 3 years. I'm a pretty obtuse guy so what I chalked up to being normal, was actually apparently not OK for her. 

No infidelity or violence involved....she basically just stopped showing affection for a bit. When questioned she mentioned being tired of the generic arguments we have and tired in general. 

I'm trying to press counseling for us both, but she's very strong willed and seems to have set her mind to this so I'm not sure it'd do any good. Also suggesting counseling has gone pretty poorly as she's not very receptive to suggestions.

Tonight the only headway I made was I promised to leave her alone for a while to think and either she liked that or it bought her some time. 

She's had a rough childhood to an extent and for sure has reasons for her depression. She's also made it known that I'm not a person she hates, just that she wants to be alone. 

If she leaves, I won't be able to afford my house/standard of living, and she'll probably take our dog who we both love very much.

Can you condense the text into a few key points?
<bot>: My wife is adamant about leaving me because she's depressed. She's also quite hard-headed and not receptive to help. Can anyone offer any advice on ways to approach this situation?
