Wife

Is this the way every woman, every wife, has to take?

Ten years into their marriage, the wife is disappointed by her husband's lack of financial success, which forces her to work and prevents her from treating herself. He, in turn, finds her slovenly and mean-spirited, noting that she neither cooks nor cleans well and is generally disagreeable. He alternates between ignoring her and treating her as a servant. Neither is happy, and their unsatisfactory lodgers only add to the tension. The husband is easily seduced by an ex-colleague, a widow with a small child who needs security, and he considers leaving his wife.
