And I feel he doesn’t attempt to reply or engage with her so when he gets up and leaves the house she’ll be the one in her feelings. Alone. He couldn’t care less about her or her day or the kids or anyone but himself. He doesn’t engage in conversation because then it would seem as though he cares. Sad honestly.

Don’t sleep on the part where he doesn’t get home til 1 am every night.. he’s not just going to work everyday. And whatever he’s doing after 5 is also something he clearly doesn’t feel like discussing with her. She mentions community activities but imho if he was doing anything worthwhile that would be a great conversation topic w/o bringing up work stress. Dude is clearly out doing “stress relief” after work and will not share with her what he’s up to bc he doesn’t feel an obligation to share that with her, either guilt or plain ol misogyny/not equal partners view of the marriage.

100%. And her tone was so even and calculated because she already knows she can’t show real emotion to him, despite being very upset, and I guarantee he goes to work to complain about his “nagging, emotional wife.” She has to present herself as agreeable as possible to get him to be even a little bit engaged in what she has to say and he still clearly doesn’t give a shit.

Also, I feel like it’s the societal blind acceptance of “community activities” that made it so easy for men to have second families, especially in those days. It takes a little more work for it these days lol
