If you are Catholic and don't marry in the Catholic church are you excommunicated?
No.
But it is possible that you may be in a "constant state of sin" which would prevent you from being able to receive Communion.
Bottom line, if the marriage is valid, then you are fine. If the marriage is invalid, then in the eyes of God you are not married and are therefore committing fornication (according to the Catholic Church).
Cannon Law is quite exhaustive in detailing what is and what is not a valid marriage, but most of those rules deal with extreme exceptions that rarely ever occur.
My advice is seek counsel from a Catholic priest, and one who seems to be in good standing with the Catholic Church. He will be able to tell you if you marriage is valid.
If not, then under the circumstances, the priest should be willing to hold a quick ceremony between you and your spouse and you will then be validly married.

What are the similarities that Maronites have with the Roman Catholics?
Catholic AnswerRoman is an epithet first commonly used in England after the protestant revolt to describe the Catholic Church. It is never used by the Catholic Church. .The Maronite Rite is a Catholic rite of the Catholic Church. Most people think of the Catholic Church as the Latin Rite as this is the largest. The Maronite Rite is one of the Eastern Rites from Lebanon. Their language is different, and their Mass or Liturgy is based on that of St. James. Of all the Eastern Rites, theirs is the most similar to the Latin Rite. But the question as asked "similarities between the Roman Catholic and Maronite" makes no sense as the Maronite Rite is part of the Catholic Church.
What Catholic mean?
dont know- something to do with the church! It doesn't necessarily have anything to do with the church. It means "all-embracing". Having a catholic taste in music means you like all music. Some people have a catholic taste in wine, women and song without being in the least religious.
What can you do if your wife wants to have your baby baptized in the Catholic church and you dont?
You should continue to discuss this. A child has the right to be baptized if the parents are willing to do the best they can to bring up the child as Catholic, even if only one does. But if you are disagreeing in this perhaps you can have someone faciliate the discussion. It is not the intent of the church to create family conflicts over what should be a happy occasion. If you were marired in the Catholic Church the catholic oarty took an oath to do the best he or she can to bring up the children as Catholic.
