When Montag is telling his reasons to Farber about why he wants Farber to help him understand the books, Montag makes a reference to his wife Mildred saying that she is dying. Is Mildred really dying, or does she subconsciously want to commit suicide with the sleeping pills? Does Montag want her to die, since he really doesn’t show much affection towards her anyway?

Well technically everyone is dying, but in the case of Mildred he most likely says it because of possible suicide. We saw in Part 1 her overdose of the sleeping pills, which she apparently doesn't remember. The way I see it she has no reason to live all she does is sit in the parlor with the TV "family" around her or listen to her Seashell radio. She has no affection toward Montag so I can't find a good reason to why she would want to live.
