You've a much stronger stomach for diving the reefs of Skin's Island for barnacled wreckage such H2S, but by the obviously inferior role he occupies in the relationship, it sounds like the 'Inherited money' was on her side, not his...or else that she has his balls in a vice with some sort of goods that could send him away somewhere for upwards of 10 years if he does anything to piss her off. In the latter case, the most likely scenario would be her possession of an archive of computerized image files ripped untimely (and unencrypted) from his hard drive, and data making them traceable directly to him....
I suspect it's just another one of those Edward VIII-Wallis Warfield Simpson things; and that the sparkling husband primitive grew up either without a strong male figure in the house, or had an acrimonious relation with his father; as the sparkling husband primitive is in his early 60s, I speculate it's the latter.
I don't think the sparkling husband primitive's wife "has something" on him; given the tenor of his posts, I suspect more his submission is debasingly voluntary (and so she takes advantage of it), and that there's a Great Civil War going on inside of him, because he does at times give clues that he subconsciously resents himself being so utterly servile.
In other words, the sparkling husband primitive seems to be a wimp; and one must remember that wimps do have flashes of what makes them male, once in a while.
The Bostonian Drunkard unleashes a volley against George Bush every time the Bostonian Drunkard has an argument with his father; it's very easy to detect that the sparkling husband primitive has argued with the wife, and lost, every time he gets really huffy.
