"His wife holds contempt for whatever reason and a lot is because they are under the same roof. "
Personally I don't think so. He was having problems with relationships in general and his W was pushing him to challenge her. But regardless of what she does, usually LL starts progressing and then stops at a certain point. I certainly don't think he should put up with any abuse by her, but I also feel that he's got to learn to stand up for himself.
And besides, they're not planning to get D'd anytime soon, so why not try improving communication with her? Just a thought.
