I understand you were explaining her perspective, and this isn't how you necessarily feel, but l feel such people gotta understand that it's never healthy to get your child married when they're not willing or mentally prepared for it. That expectation from a girl that she will reform him or win him over is downright delusion. And when that doesn't happen, they push the couple to bring a child into the mix in hopes that shared responsibility will bring them closer. Sometimes this formula may work, but more often than not, it creates further resentment and now it's not just one (the guy) life ruined but at least three. What that guy needed was empathy and therapy until he could get over his past traumas/Oedipus complex.
