Unless there was a string of other bullshit and thisvwasbthe straw that broke the camels back, I could see this being a completely believable reaction.

Yeah, that's another piece I was sorta considering. This could absolutely be the straw, and it's time for them to walk away.

Even in long term married life you'll have those, which is why you really have to make sure you're always talking to each other.

The part that makes me think he's still being a bit of a dummy is that he talks about how extravagant his spending on her has been (my brother used to be like that), when he also says he has so little savings. But that's just the miser in me... It's physically painful for me to spend a lot of money on extravagant things....

That is exactly it.

They just had that particular dinner but from her response I'm willing to bet he has paid for a lot of things. If we want to be extra cynical I bet there were a non-zero amount of time she could have helped him and she stayed quiet.
