Might be these advisors are from another country where such problems do not exist. It‘s easy to forget other countries are not as fortunate as your own.

There's couple's ounselors that can do a sliding scale for low income families...

They may have a family friend or local religious leader who could help with counseling for maybe a nominal donation. I think that there's more here than what it seems. A couple comments mention her being sick and maybe that plays a role here. I have been through very lean times, so I understand where he's coming from, but I've also lost family and friends that I never got a good photo with more recently because they were very ill. I think they should have discussed it more and she shouldn't have just done it anyway, but I also think that maybe it's A LOT more important to her than it seemed at first. I wouldn't just write their marriage off, but they need to seriously address this situation with a third party to help mediate.
