I am not sure about that.  And you will find even with divorce/remarriage that a group of well meaning people will use the same sets of scriptures and come to different conclusions.

Is your saga not over yet?  Still no divorce proceedings?

How about anyone in the church leadership doing their duty and approaching your wife?

Nothing on both counts

Have you approached the church leadership about interceding?  Are you both members?

Yes and yes
All I am told is she was approached
What else can I do after so long?

Biblically, your church leadership is failing.  Also, I don't think you can divorce her biblically, even though she is treating you horribly.
