We dont hear his side of the story.
Was the wife being respectful? Was she undermining the husband in the disciple of the children?
Was she spending money beyond their means to go to ‘play dates’ and to keep up with the Jones?
Did she offer to get a job?
Was there time for relaxation or was the situation constant demands and hectoring?
Whatever the situation of the wife, this man had children, and that is an obligation. No one forced him to become a husband and father.
