TheCause

After handling such cases it will be necessary to handle the root cause of the problem which will not be multi-tasking. After that root cause is handled then in most cases the spouse will be able to accept the limitations and continue living together with his wife.

In such cases it would be a good idea to investigate whether handling the root cause would be sufficient before undergoing the treatment for the root cause. If the spouse agrees in advance that if the root cause which is the real cause for dissent is handled then that will be sufficient and he will be able to live with his wife even though she cannot multi-task then it is certainly worth dealing with the root cause of the problem.

However, if he is unsure whether handling the root cause will be sufficient or he states categorically that he refuses to accept a wife who will not multi-task even though the root cause is not handled then a different course of action should be taken.

Are we are dealing now with a husband who seems to be unduly stubborn and who is making unreasonable demands of his wife? The next stage in the counseling should be to determine these issues. It is entirely possible that the husband makes too many demands in which case they should be dealt with.

After all, if he makes too many demands or his demands are not appropriate then even after the situation is corrected to his satisfaction he will not be satisfied. He will present additional and new demands of his spouse. He will see that he has unlimited control over her psyche and he will try to change her in other ways as well. This is of course unacceptable.
