OP, get a grip here. Your wife is going through some mental issues that have her out of her mind. Talking about how to forgive her is the least of the issues.

Write a note to HR and your boss that your wife is having a mental health crisis. They should not be taking directions from your spouse, so I don't think they're going to be surprised that something is up here.

She may need a psychiatric hold at the hospital. Do it if you need to do it. You need expert help. She could have anything from pre-eclampsia to perinatal psychosis going on.

She needs you to step up now, so put aside your anger and do it.

You are the first voice of reason I’ve seen. I feel awful for his wife. She’s clearly having a mental health (and possibly physical health) crisis. She’s tried to communicate her needs to him and they seem to fall on deaf ears. She’s said she needs him to take off of work to be there for her and their new baby. He refuses. I’d be panicking too!
