Dear Abby: His marriage is collapsing, and he's so mean to his stay-at-home wife
Briefly

The article outlines a conflict between a sister-in-law and her brother regarding his marriage. The brother, who has been the breadwinner for 22 years while his wife raised their three kids, feels resentful about the prospect of divorce and alimony. His sister contemplates how to help him recognize the contributions his wife made to their family, highlighting how their marriage is now strained due to his anger and misconceptions. Despite efforts to communicate, the brother remains defensive, and professional guidance may be necessary to address his feelings toward his wife's role.

Let your brother's attorney and the family law judge explain the facts of life to your brother. He is filled with anger and greed right now.
