I, for one, don't see Andy as having unreasonable demands, or as being selfish.
On the other hand, I don't see his wife as having unreasonable demands, or being selfish, either.
What I see here are two people who are stuck. Two people who are in a relationship that ain't quite as good as it could be.
Neither of them are right, and neither of them are wrong.
Neither of them need sympathy, they both need solutions.
Hopefully, Andy doesn't really view everything here as "advice", but maybe "different perspectives" on his situation.
I, for one, hate to see him feel "powerless" over his situation, waiting for his wife to come around.
Hopefully, if we keep throwing around enough options here, ANS will find some THINGS (not THING) that will help him lead himself and his wife to a better relationship, a better marriage, and a more fulfilling life for them both.
JMHO!
