Is "ingratitude to one's spouse" exclusive to women, or does it include men, and does it encompass a husband forgetting his wife's good deeds at the first disagreement between them?
"Kufran al-Asheer" (ingratitude towards one's spouse) is mentioned in the , which states that the majority of the inhabitants of Hellfire will be women because they are ungrateful to their spouses and ungrateful for good deeds. If you were to be kind to one of them for a lifetime, then she saw something [displeasing] from you, she would say, "I have never seen any good from you at all." The intent here is the wife's denial of the good provided by her husband when she is angry. Although this description is mentioned in reference to women, it does not mean it is exclusive to them. There may be men who deny the kindness of their wives, and this contradicts good companionship. Remembering good deeds and acknowledging favors are characteristics of noble people.
