Dear Abby: His wife won't speak to him for months at a time. What should he do?
Briefly

The article presents a troubling scenario where a husband endures long periods of emotional neglect and silence from his wife, a pattern persisting over 40 years. The husband often feels isolated, as she even prepares meals for everyone but him. Despite the recurring emotional abuse, he remains loving towards her but contemplates divorce due to the ongoing situation. The advice suggests he seek legal counsel and address the relationship's issues candidly with his wife, urging her to seek professional help to change the status quo.
It is difficult for me to understand why a husband would tolerate the emotional abuse this man has suffered for 40 years.
My advice is to consult an attorney, describe what has been happening and ask what his alternatives to the status quo may be.
...he should also tell his wife that unless she gets professional help for her problem, he's leaving.
The emotional disconnect between the couple appears to be a longstanding issue that needs urgent intervention.
