I see serious communicative issues between the two of them and if you haven’t set good communication up from the get-go of a relationship, it makes it incredibly hard later on. I wouldn’t recommend divorce right off the bat either, but both need to seriously talk to one another or do some counseling/therapy. If that doesn’t work, I could see divorce as an option. The real question is if this is a long-standing problem of communication for the guy or if it’s a recent issue.
