Please contact an experienced criminal defense attorney as soon as possible. This is a serious matter. The prosecutor may still wish to go forward even though your spouse does not wish to proceed. Please also check your conditions of bond to see if you are allowed to have any contact with her.
This is not the type of situation in which you should represent your self.
