How do I punish my wife for going mad?

She tends to get angry easily when I have disagreement with her. She can be abusive verbally by yelling and cursing, trying her best to insult me and irritate me, threatening to call the police if I get physical with her. Lately she has been getting physical herself, once dumping a small cup of tea in my face when I was lying in the bed arguing with her. Yesterday she kicked my car very hard in front of her parent because I had disagreement with her and I refused to let her drive my car (she has her own car) because she was acting in a condescending manner. It left a big dent on my car. I would have divorced her if we didn't have 2 lovely little kids together. But it doesn't make sense that woman in marriage can just get mad and do damages without any punishment. What can I do legally to punish her so that she would think twice before getting physical next time? Do I have the right to pull up my phone and video tape her behavior when she gets mad? She would certainly claim violation of privacy and viciously grab my phone by force if I don't stop. What's the best course of action I can do? P.S. She is a perfectly loving mother and wife when she isn't agitated. But she gets into fight or flight way too easily compared to most other people. Something needs to be done to make her want to control herself. For those who have trouble understanding what "legal punishment" means, I am not threatening to beat her unless you think it's a "legal punishment". Thanks

Punish uhm and you work at google.

Oh what's your bright idea, continue being a doormat and take all the abuse? He's asking how to de-incentivise her behavior so she stops being a bi-tch. And yes he works at Google because he's actually interested in solving a problem.

No, finding a way to resolve the issue by not ā€œpunishingā€ anyone

Ask her why she refuses to help the overturned turtle baking in the hot sun

I have a wife and 3 kids...love is patient, but not abusive. Try giving each other space in the moment, then talking when u both calm down...14yrs has taught me patience.

Restrict her IP address from accessing google.

Wouldnā€™t that be OPā€™s IP address too?

Men are never more handsome than when they want to save their marriage! Check out the book Boundaries in Marriage by Henry Cloud and John Townsend. The boundaries are to protect and control you while also helping your wife to experience the consequences of her actions.

Lol you both are abusive. You have too much to lose, unless you're getting something else out of being with her that you aren't saying, just leave her. Find a young broke girl you won't have to "punish". Tons of them out there.

How the fuck is OP abusive?

Microsoft aFLj53 Sep 22, 2019

Heā€™s asking about punishing his wife and not about marriage counseling. Iā€™d bet his wife has some reasons for being mad too.

Record her. It will come handy to show she's mad and win custody in family court.

MassMutual NkOS62 Sep 22, 2019

I second this. Record her. Get audio if you can. If you don't want to lose your kids, next time she assaults you - record and call police. Show police the video

Isnā€™t recording someone without their consent illegal?

Twilio p@$$w0rd. Sep 22, 2019

She sounds pathetic, leave her. If she wants to take advantage of the fact that men wonā€™t retaliate, then get some proof that sheā€™s abusive and leave her without having to lose your kids and half your stuff.

ā€œPunishā€? Are you her dad or her spouse?

The same way you punish dogs. Ignore, don't give treats.

Salesforce OHANA GANG Sep 22, 2019

Not only is this wildly sexist, it's not even correct advice on how to punish dogs

American Express gandalf$$ Sep 22, 2019

Do you even have a dog
