Sooooo 'easier-said-than-done'.
Since when did worrying about your wife's feelings above yours make a husband whipped?
I must be getting old. Crap!

Show up at the KH wearing one of those respirator masks- tell everyone you might have viral meningitis-cough-cough- you sure hate to miss a meeting though-cough-cough. Get up after 15 minutes-cough-cough- and go home. That should buy you some more time, before the elders start to bother you again.
Good luck on your exit strategy!

Moshe has a good plan!
Here's another one.
Wait for some day when you really are sick. You know puking sick.
Be sure to sit behind the 'po', and do the next "puke or hurl" down his back.
They will never question your claims of being sick again.

Update:
Big fight after she got home from the meeting.
Did not end up speaking at all for the rest of the day.

You need a good and thorough understanding of depression, firstly to get you out of a few meetings, and eventually because you're going to have a few genuine depressive episodes eventually and you'll be better off for having a clue about what's brought this on and what to do now.

an inheritance that I would probably loose
... what's it worth, a lifetime? They've probably got another 30 years in them. Do you?

OK, if you aren't talking then it seems the marriage will be affected negatively if you stay home and she does not just "to please her parents." What may be making her frustrated is that she would have loved to be able to stay home with you too--- all Sunday long ----but doesn't look forward to have to explain why she missed to the rest of the meddling elders, parents, "friends" etc..
The only way to get away from the toxic stuff is to find work far away from all the poeple you know. Get transfered and pack your bags. You are, after all "the head." Use this to your advantage. Tell the kids there's a new neighborhood waiting for them in a fun new town and you'll be making good money. Tell the Elders or whoever asks that you will make it a point to find the nearest King dumb hall when you get settled in your new home and then Don't. You'll be on your way to fading in no time. Forget the inheritance. Tell your wife about all the Watchtower scandals: the UN, the Mexico/Malawi deal, the flip flops with the blood doctrine, all you know slowly, carefully and in increments. Hope it works out for you.

choosing life
I agree with a major case of depression. Maybe you could get some counseling too. Then you would have some ongoing help to break free from this religion that is slowly wasting your life. Don't have to confront anyone now, just remain in a deep depression until you are ready. You have to start somewhere if you are ever going to get some relief and improve your situation.
Good luck!
