She couldn't really expect him to be the sole breadwinner for the family, and do all the housework, and be always there for her emotional needs. There has to be some give and take. I'm not sure why his request for a reasonably equitable partnership would be considered abuse?
These are, most likely, the issues that lead to the demise of the relationship in the first place. It is the only way their living arrangement would be able to continue at all.

We have no way of knowing WHO was the emotional abuser, or even if any emotional abuse was going on. That's quite a leap from what we know.

Well, aside from the infidelity, sure.
I was saying that because someone agreed to a set of conditions, it doesn't make the conditions necessarily okay or reasonable.
That people cope with emotional abuse in different ways does not justify emotional abuse. As plenty of people mentioned in the thread, this was a different time when women had less possibilities and support systems for themselves.
