To be fair Perrin also assumed his cultural standards would be the norm and never made any effort to understand why it wasn't working until Elyas spelled it out for him, even though his in-laws gave him a good suggestion of it. And Faile has made efforts to adapt as well.
Yes, but Perrin didn't passive-agressively punish Faile for not living up to his cultural standards. Instead, he tried to fix whatever he was doing wrong. Yes, he was inept at it and ended up making the situation worse, but he was actually trying to make Faile feel better, not punishing her for not fitting into his idea of what a wife should be like. That's the difference.
What;s your favorite RJ comment on the sexes?

Women cannot admit they were wrong and will partner up with their worst enemy against a man over it.

You have to make sure your husbands do what you want, while making them think it was their idea.

And I can buy that, which is why I'm surprised at how many claimed they were inaccurate. Seriously,
