 Wow my friend you are in a very sticky situation, well there is no complete answer to give you to do, but I can make some suggestions, 1) ignore her in her times like that 2) leave the house when she acts like that, it will make her self conscious the next time she decides to snap because she knows you will walk out again, or tell her its a complete turn off and she is making you unattracted towards her. Seriously, you know how when men call a woman fat she tries all types of ways to loose weight than she might try to become better. Is nothing worse than your husband telling you he is being turned off. And if she truly values the relationship as you do she will try to make a better effort at it. Or you can even consider counseling and or anger management. You can go together. It will be a tad bit embarrassing at first but it may help both of you. You can get in tune with each others inner selves a little more....but at the end of the day if it all fails, do what you have to do, its your life and I'm pretty sure, (by the way she seems) that if she was un happy she would have left you a long time ago!
