I was quite pleased to see she immediately cut through to the fact that the husband isn't considering his wife in his decision making.
Insightful.
Phillips also mentions that in many cultures the wife subjugates her feelings in favour of her husbands, so I'd have been tempted to advise the woman tells her husband to subjugate his own feelings for a year or two to get a taste of what being a woman is all about. It's not just fishnets and lacy bras after all, truly living as a woman in this country involves putting yourself last in so many ways.
