It does sound as if she is over reacting a little but it does depend on what was happening during the time it happened, the situation is important. And more importantly is the way she feels, if she is feeling as if you've crossed a line, then it matter even if you don't feel as if you did. Talk to her and take her feelings into consideration no matter how much of an over reaction they seem to be.

Is your wife mentally abusing you by reporting you to the police as a physical abuser when you are not?

Maybe it will help if you define what a physical abuser is. I am not judging you, but your question leaves too many possibilities. If you define a physical abuser as a man that punches a woman more than once, then you do not consider yourself an abuser. However, this is denial to make yourself feel better. A physical abuser is a personn MAN or WOMAN that hits a person in any way more than once. Hitting includes, spitting on, chasing, cornering, towering over, throwing or threatning to throw an object, punching, grabbing, slapping, restraining. In addition, it is abuse if you threaten any of those actions. Emotional abuse usually comes before physical abuse. Emotional abuse includes yelling, swearing, belittling, name calling, gaslighting, headgames, forgetting, discarding, ignoring (silent treatment), gossiping, neglecting and many more forms. Please read about the cycle of abuse on google. You may be an abuser. If you want to keep your marriage intact its best you acknowledge this problem. Most women do not go and tell police they are abused by a husband if they are not. It takes a real man to admit he needs help and a useless one to continue to abuse a woman. If legal steps have already been taken, it is up to the police, a judge, and possibly a court appointed psychologist to make a determination of what is actually going on in the home between the couple. This is not to say that some people do not falsify claims of abuse--but in many cases, the abuser continues to deny his/her actions, even when there is clear evidence of physical abuse going on. This is not the time to worry about your wife's motives--if you are insistent on proving to the police and the court that you are not an abuser, I would suggest moving out of the marital residence, going to counseling, and looking for legal advice from a family law attorney. Do not contact your wife or any of her family, do not make threats of any kind.

Why would an abuser drop a romantic partner well into a physical relationship the moment they were told they were cared deeply for?

An abuser may be afraid of intimacy and the commitment it requires. This is a rather curious question. Let me tell you why. It's common for people to drop partners in physical relationships when they express feelings, that's a "fear of commitment" thing. It isn't common at all for an abuser to drop someone that way. They usually actively seek situations in which they can feel more cared about than caring. That is another form of control.
