Personally I don't think I would be in such a situation (cause I will try everything humanly possible for me and my wife to communicate)
But if I was in his shoes I would let her take care of everything for like a year!!!!
And he should sit her down and let her know he wasn't happy about the situation, and come up with a plan that will help them both to communicate more.
this was a nice story
I think communication is the primary conflicting drawback in their marriage.
I totally agree with you!!!!!
