The problem isn't necessarily the man/woman dynamic to this - the problem seems to be communication. Her, probably in how she approached the issue with him...knowing her, she probably told him what she was going to do or made it so that it really wasn't a mutual decision as much as I want to do this and the only acceptable response from you that will make me happy is OK. And him, it's obvious that he didn't tell her how he felt about having to quit his job and become Mr. Mom. Part of that might involve his hurt male ego, but whatever his problems with that set-up, it's clear he never really expressed them to her. The media attention and stuff just pushed it over the edge and probably accelerated this process by a year or two.
