Can't attract something that doesn't exist.
Latin: "Coniuges duo debent conjugali studio habitare, nisi iusta causa eos aegerit." English: "Spouses are bound to live together in conjugal relations, unless a just cause excuses them."
English: "If one has committed adultery, the innocent spouse has the right to terminate conjugal life even permanently, unless they tacitly or expressly condone it within six months."
English: "The innocent spouse, having lawfully left the adulterer, is not obliged to admit the guilty spouse back—unless they later consent to reconciliation or live together again."
Latin excerpt: “Si alter coniux sectae acatholicae nomen dederit; si prolem acatholice educaverit; si vitam criminosam et ignominiosam ducat; si grave seu animae seu corporis periculum alteri facessat; si saevitiis vitam communem nimis difficilem reddat, haec aliaque id genus…” English translation: “If a spouse joins a non‑Catholic sect; educates the children in a non‑Catholic manner; leads a criminal or dishonorable life; inflicts grave bodily or spiritual danger; or by cruelties renders life together too difficult—these and similar reasons are legitimate causes to separate, by the diocesan bishop or even on one’s own authority if delay would bring danger.”

Is the wife a danger to the husband? Has she threatened his life? Has she attempted violence? I don't think so. She's just a raging, feminist wacko.If there's no danger, then you can't separate without approval from the Church.
Does the husband leaving solve the problem? I would think you'd only leave if you thought the situation was hopeless. Leaving isn't going to fix the wife's attitude, because she's already threatened to kick him out. So if the husband leaves, it's for personal reasons.
If the husband leaves over defrosting meat on the floor, then that only serves to prove that both were too immature when they got married. They'll grow out of it, why all this talk of canon law and leaving?
This whole thread is a disaster of "advice". The wife is off her rocker, nuts. I pray for the husband and the child. The people who are apologizing for the wife's actions need a reality check. You guys are just as nuts as her.
