I (28m) think my wife (27f) is turning our relationship into one with physical abuse.

I (28m) think my wife (27f) is turning our relationship into one with physical abuse.

I know this is a sensitive topic but I need some advice.

I am afraid my wife is getting closer to frequent abuse of me. She hits me sometimes and its starting to become more frequent and impacting her language like "you don't like when I'm angry" and quite literally "if you keep talking I'm going to hit you with this plate." This just an example of recent interaction.

I want her to see that it isn't okay but whenever I try to bring it up she belittles me and tells me that I shouldnt care since I'm a man. I am starting to worry this will become more violent and may impact our kid as well.

Any tips or advice would be appreciated. Thanks.

Edit: Thank you to everyone reaching out. I really appreciate it. This is something I struggle with verifying intensity because I also have a past of very, very extreme violence from superiors when I was in the military so having a 3rd opinion is something I needed. I have been documeting incidences of this nature for almost a year. My main concern is my son. He is a toddler so I was hoping I could fix this before his memory really started to form. Again, thank you.
