Today, I realized just how messed up my life is, thanks to all the scare stories my wife sees on Dr Phil. She's now convinced that I'll start beating her someday. She's started taking martial arts classes, and threatens to use her skills every time I get even slightly frustrated with her. FML

A relationship is built on trust. You definitely need to address this issue with her.

You know, I think if you do get in a fight, you shouldn't hold back because she threatens to hurt you. I mean, don't go and freaking beat her but if you're frustrated don't drop the argument if you're genuinely upset and try to talk it out like a rational human. Also, try to explain to her that, by her constantly doing that, SHE'S the one threatening to beat YOU up. If I had a husband and he said "If you get near me or touch me ONCE, I'm going to beat your ass!" Or something like "Don't make me use my martial arts on you!" whenever we had a fight I'd be encouraged to call the police because he's now a potential woman-beater. But when ANY woman does it (constantly), it's just because she's paranoid and only threatens for her own safety, which I believe is BS because not all woman are like that. Men-beater DO exist, and your wife is sounding like one. A threat is a threat, no matter if it's because you're controlling or scared. Actually most if not ALL threats and abusive partners are fueled by fear, so you're wife's no different. And if your wife ever does hit you without you actually even touching her then YOU have complete permission to call the police. Sadly if she says, "It was self-defense!" then they'll probably be harder on you then on her, not going to lie. But hopefully when she sees that the tables have been turned she'll finally realize that she was being the abusive one in the relationship all along and you two can work out any insecurities together. Just a thought.

A marriage shouldn't be like that I don't think a healthy relationship involves threats and police

Why would she listen to Dr.Phil? Does he even have his PhD? I'd probably believe a counselor over a guy on TV.

hug her and use your full strength and hold her if she trys she cant move she cant hurt you.

Too bad what she is threatening can land her in jail. She's an idiot

164- I used to be a boxer, and let me tell you, I've seen better punches thrown from the women than I have the men. Coordination isn't a problem for them, nor is power, pound for pound, once they learn how to use it. My point? Don't underestimate girls for being girls. That will get you your ass beat. ;)

That's no way to live. I hate woman who scream abuse when their husbands only get somewhat frustrated with them, when they've actually done nothing wrong. She needs help...serious help. It sounds like you should be the cautious one. If she does retaliate when you haven't touched her, throw her in jail. You have a right to be angry with your wife. Everyone has a right to be angry.
