That's common, under strict patriarchy. He's just a visitor in the home and a paycheck.
Like the way ME guys often lounge around outside because the women basically throw them out of the house every day, and they don't go back until dinner.

Often don't see the sort of affectionate, companionate marriages, that we are more used to, because of the elevated status of Christian women and the more temperate view of patriarchy that it brought.
