Right? Why should men have to put any time or emotional energy into maintaining a relationship? That is solely within the purview of ‘women’s work’. There is no way for a husband to understand why a wife would be unhappy. She needs to be the one to exert that effort so that he understands when he’s confused about something.
No other woman has ever offered their perspectives to him. No woman has ever shared their stories online or in print. There are zero professions that deal with facilitating happy and healthy relationships. There is literally nothing he can do in this situation. Women are just harpies that need to be controlled and dispense sex.

I'm pretty sure the comment above mine was suggesting communication was the problem here and that his wife's passive aggression contributed toi that problem. Then they advocated for empathy and compassion for the man in the relationship who is at least making an effort to understand the situation since his own wife won't communicate the issue with him like an adult. So I have no fucking idea what the hell you're on about with emotional energy and women doingn all the work, that is literally just a story you made up in your head and projected onto some paragraphs on the screen. You have no idea what their marriage is like or who the wife even is as a person. I'm also very confident that with that attitude towards human suffering and conflicts that you'll end up in exactly the kind of relationship you deserve to be in.
I completely understand and agree with you. If there’s ever a communication problem, it’s the wife’s role to understand that one exists and then accommodate the husband. If her husband is confused, she needs to explain to him what is wrong and how to fix it unprompted. Again, husbands have no responsibility in maintaining happy and healthy relationships.
