Since we're all dissecting Corri's life, I'll throw my two into the ring. I think he is holding on to the job because he feels successful and competent and admired. He doesn't feel these things at home. He feels like a failure (because he can't "make" his wife want him) so he retreats, consciously or unconsciously, to work.
This is ultimately his problem.
I hope he gets some clarity regarding the situation and soon.
