"Over 72% of posts on IIN are made by people talking out their asses."
See - anyone can make up a statistic.
Even if 40% of women convicted of murder have indeed killed their husbands, that doesn't really say a lot. Women are much less likely to commit murder than men, and not many engage in random street violence or gang warfare. Therefore, women who murder tend to do it up close and personal.
According to a CDC study, less than 7% of male homicides are committed by intimate partners, while around 55% of murdered women were killed by an intimate partner.
If you want to toss around statistics, you could say that, since the OP is a married man, it's more probable that he's looking for ways to justify him murdering his wife, and a lot less likely that she's trying to kill him.
I think my wife may be poisoning me
