That is what I got out of this, too. He married someone who he doesn't understand (I think the psychobabble shows this clearly), and now he wants a different person. He takes no responsibility for his own problems and how they could affect her, but rather insists that she change who she is so that he doesn't have to change himself. He sounds like he feels entitled to a woman who will take care of his every need without his having to reciprocate.
