I don't dispute that but man that is some shitty marriage. Even rather submissive guys are not happy in such setup, not at all. Remember its supposed to be for life or divorce/breakup, nothing in between.

Lifelong situation like that... why folks don't do more due diligence on most important aspect of long term relationships - personality match? Its usually not a rocket science, observe behavior in conflicts, don't desperately appease in situations where one is clearly not to blame. Masks fall off quickly in heated situations, when people are tired and so on. Its not perfect but pretty damn good and covers >95% of the scenarios.
