In my view, most of her message is that women have become whiny, spoiled, and disrespectful of their husbands in general.

Can't we all just get along? I mean really, I try and overlook my wife's failings, and I would hope she would overlook mine.

Not to get into details, but wife did something bad... expected me to forgive her for it... I did same exact thing...well not exact, did not do as much as she did... she refused to forgive me... I asked why. She said that it was in my nature to be forgiving and not in her nature. That I knew that when I married her.

So get a clue...you've got failings that you need to correct...your wife has lovable quirks that you have to accept.

I have seen several posts here saying basically, "Think of the child." Sometimes, in the middle of a failing marriage is the worst place a kid can be. Also, selfish as it may sound, a person also has to think about himself, at times. Subjecting one's self to a lifetime of misery is no way to live.
In my own marriage, I was having a terrible time. My ex, beautiful as she was, was (is) a very bitter person. She took a lot of delight in trying to make me as miserable as she was. She would participate in a lot of activities I enjoyed just to fuhk them up for me. The people on DU remind me a lot of her attitude, she had just made her mind up to be unhappy but blamed me for her unhappiness.
My daughters could sense what was going on and this did not make for a very happy life for them either.
