Agree on the cultural compatibility / cultural understanding part about the psychiatrist that CB brought up. Dominant / manipulative parenting is one thing, but the nuances between different cultures can still be a huge difference.

When I first read this, the only thing I thought of was that Euro's wife just wanted to be alone and spend some time alone all by herself to clear her head and figure things out. The thought of splitting up (from the marriage) has never even crossed my mind. But now that it has been mentioned, I suppose it can't be ruled out either.
Of course, I don't agree with Mrs. Euro7r's suggestion to move out either -- being unwell -- physically, mentally, and emotionally, as Euro has said -- is precisely the time when someone needs the most support she can get from the people around her, even though the person might think otherwise. But beyond making that point, I don't think I'd be qualified enough to make any suggestions to anyone other than myself.
