No, odds are he actually loves her and wants to do things right for her. Pleasing your wife is a matter of pride for a good husband.
She didn’t specify 80/20 ground beef when she said “hamburger” so she got 70/30 hamburger. Next time he’ll get her 80/20. She should have said something more like “Next time could you please get...”
The simple fact is, that harsh words are a normal part of a man’s universe and we “deal with it.” We don’t use them on women because harsh words are apparently more painful to them.
If you stayed buzzed you hardly notice the nagging.

No, he may love her, but he was beyond attempting to please her. Pleasing one's wife is no longer a matter of pride when she continually takes advantage of his efforts to do so. If he sees the boot prints across his back as a source of pride, he has only my pity. Let's just say, I know this woman's personality all too well. Rear-view mirror, darling.
