Brief Answer:
Frontal lobes dysfunction most likely.

Detailed Answer:

Hello,

I have read your question and understand your concerns for your wife.

The issues with your wife's behavior that you report indicate primarily frontal lobe dysfunction.

Lesions of the frontal lobes of the brain such as tumors, arteriovenous malformations, stroke, etc. may cause such dysfunction.

It is necessary for a Neurological examination and imaging studies such as brain MRI in order to understand her condition better and possible treatment ways.

Hope you found the answer helpful.

Please let me know if I can assist you further.

Take care.
