My wife is threatening to email a video of me yelling and swearing at her in the middle of a heated argument to everyone at my work if I leave her. She has said she wants to humiliate me and get me fired or so embarrassed I quit my job. Can I charge her if she goes through with it?

ok, so the laws around this stuff are a bit problematic. I would expect that you should be able to get her charged, or at very least an avo to stop further harassment.
By the sounds of things you really need to get away from her.
BTW - most normal right thinking people will see her sending stuff and evidence she is a nutter. Most of us, especially those with ex- partners have had a situation where things have gotten out of hand. That is why they're exes.
My advice - go to the cops, ask as them what would happen....
But I reckon you just wanna get the hell away from her.
Please tell me you don't have kids with her?

Thanks Sammy...no I don't have kids with her luckily
I feel like it is a ploy to keep me in the marriage, but just want to be knowable about my legal rights in the event that she actually does do it and even tell her she can be charge because at the moment i think she thinks that it is fine to do as I was the one at the time of filming being aggressive
Simple answer? Yes - she can be charged with blackmail under section 87 of the VIC Crimes Act 1958 (maximum penalty is 15 years imprisonment).
