The answer

This man contravenes what Allah has commanded husbands regarding kind treatment of their wives. A husband should look at his wife's virtues and overlook her flaws, as the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, said: "No believing man should hate a believing woman; if he dislikes one of her characteristics, he will be pleased with another." What is worse is that he accuses her of things she did not do and divulges her secrets. The wife has done well by not withholding his marital right. As for feigning contentment and love while harboring inner dislike, there is no blame for it. Both spouses should strive for everything that strengthens affection between them to achieve family stability.
