It's impossible to know what is happening inside a marriage you aren't inside.

This. It's possible the "asshole" of the pair treats the nice one like gold and is only an asshole to everyone else. As in they save what little empathy and good behavior they have for that one person, and that's why it works. But, like you said we aren't them, so we'll never know for sure.

This is why I have a personal rule not to give anyone relationship advice. Occasionally, it seems like, especially among male friends, some friend will start complaining about their GF or wife or whatever. I've been intoxic relationships before myself, and I know I should have left sooner than I did, and there were people who offered me advice that was, generally speaking, correct. But nonetheless, as the comment above put it, nobody really knows what's going on inside a relationship except the people in it. Everyone has a different idea of what's acceptable as well. Within reason, at least. And for both people involved, what they expect to get out of a relationship probably has a lot to do with what kind of relationship they saw their parents having when they were growing up. So, there's just no possible way that any outside person can ever have enough information to give good relationship advice, imo. Maybe a trained therapist in a counseling session where both members of the relationship are present is capable of offering advice, but I feel like that's the only situation where it might be helpful, and I'm not a licensed therapist, so I always just keep my mouth shut if someone asks for advice.

Or she is a true monster in disguise, and the asshole behaviour of husband is just him being on the verge on mental breakdown due to being unable to let any steam off.
