44. The problem is that she's been programmed

to believe that any "straying" he does, either with hookers, porn, or her children, is all her fault for not being "enough".

Just saw a thing on KOS with the statement: "Sex is like pre-chewed chewing gum ... Is that what you want to present to your husband?"

The thing is, the boys/men are taught that once they've "chewed that gum" it is worthless except as a vehicle for child production.

In the end, she'll never leave him, because doing so would show his family, her family, and everyone she actually knows that she wasn't "good enough" to hold his interest.

I have a very cynical view of extremely religious families I guess.
