TS needs to lower down your ego and talk it face to face, not texting or phone calls. get a mediator who's neutral won't side to any 1 of u during the discussion. therapist might help but they may not have full picture and this consume time; multiple sessions

dissatisfaction comes frm wrong expectations.
this though brought up frm the wife, also entails within TS himself. i take it that TS as a high-income and self-independent man thinks that he can win over marriage without much losses by his side. he's the ultimate decision-maker. however this is a lesson for TS; being tolerant u need to give sometimes. which is now exploded in your face. perhaps you assume your wife as a self-independent woman can support herself but she's traditional too expecting allowance frm u but you were oblivious to it. this i suppose stems frm poor communications; emotionally distant maybe due to modern-work demands.

to all husbands out there; pls hear your wife out. just coz u day in day out working for them doesn't mean u should go home eat n rest. pls talk more and appreciate each other. be a bit romantic sometimes it'll do wonders.

in all honesty this ain't that big a deal but i emphatise TS feeling cornered i hope TS & wife reached a win-win situation with a minimal allowance. if she's asking more than TS willing to give pls drill down those expense list n split half then ask her to chip in as well.

happy wife happy life
