Marriage should be a transparent relationship, where partners try the best to minimize each others stress. The wife is cold hearted to permit the husband to live 1 yr of stress.
In addition, the husband should have some gender equality “thinking”, at least from what the wife would feel, to let him feel comfortable that the wife have a higher salary than him.
We cannot blame one without the other, because whatever actions happened is from the other’s actions.
I advise the husband to be happy of how the situation ended up, talk to the wofe a figure out a way to have a transparent relationship and work it out to be better. but do not blame her
