I'm the type that won't put up with that crap and would say something to him myself...describing in great detail what could happen to him if he continued his behaviour. I know not everyone is as forward as I am, and it can be very, very difficult to see that happening and not be able to do anything about it. At the end of the day though, it's her choice to stay with him.

I hate to see this kind of relationship too, that's why I had to post here.

I'd love to say something but she sees his behaviour as normal for a married man of his age - but it's ok for younger generations to have different expectations!
These people are roughly the same age as my parents but I grew up seeing both parents cooking, cleaning, gardening etc. No way was my father expecting to be waited on hand and foot!
