Confused...

On page 379 it talks about Yasin and him being mad at his wife. It says, " He felt almost regretful, not because he had suddenly discovered some dregs of affection for her in the corners of his heart, but because of his desire to treat her politely, perhaps out of respect for her father or fear of his". it sounds to me like Yasin is having mixed feelings about his wife, and now he needs to put the blame on something higher than his emotions. Do you think that deep down Yasin really loves and cares about his wife or does he just try to respect her now because of their parents? I feel like he is a little like his father when it comes to his wife. I feel like his father really loves Amina but he can't really express that love to her because then peoples image of him will be distorted. I feel like Yasin feels like he has to hold close to the same image as his father so he tries to trick himself into believing that the inly reason that he cares about her is because of her father and his. But don't get me wrong there is a part of him who is just like his father in that he does like to sleep around with other women and that he does look at other women as well. In the research I did on Muslim marriages it talk about how the marriage should be shown off and how the man is not supposed to sleep around with other women except his wife. It seems to me that Yasin and his father are kind of doing the exact opposite of what they should be, and the only reason that Yasin is doping it is because he has seen i=his father do it to Amina. So I don't really feel like he doesn't love his wife but i do feel like that he idolizes his father and aspires to be like him, and the one way that he can do that is by acting like he really doesn't love his wife but by caring for her because that's what he is supposed to do.
