The reason that I suggested to pursue (thanks Coach for the TYPO correction) is that his wife sees him as . . . well . . . a gelding. I can't see how acting as one is going to change her mind. And obviously what he has been doing doesn't seem to be working. But it is his life.
I certainly wouldn't be running off after other women. That is only going to make things worse.
I'm a man . . . But I can change . . . If I have to . . . I guess . . .
