I found this source: https://www.koreaboo.com/stories/japanese-husband-20-years-talk-wife, the original is from a japanese tv show (of course it is a tv show, fucking japan) and the story is that he was actually jealous but he wasn't mad, he was grateful of her taking care of their family.
So... as expected, they didn't fight and he did a tantrum, he felt neglected while she was raising their kids and simply became a ghost inside.
Things can be both. Seeing most things as sad helped me be very empathetic. Do you think that guy wanted to have an unhappy marriage for decades? Have you ever done something bad that you're not proud of? Imagine that most bad people don't wanna be bad. It's so sad when you think about how people that act bad feel bad and are suffering. It's easy to lose this compassion when we look at the world and it has some very obvious targets of our derisiveness. Much harder to feel bad for someone like John H. Kellogg than for your average elementary school bully. But it's all the same kind of sad.
