A man demanded his wife treat her untreated head lice or face no intimacy; she complied, resolving the issue but straining their relationship.

A man's wife went nearly a year without treating a head lice infestation, citing embarrassment and financial concerns, which led to deteriorating intimacy and his decision to sleep on the futon and refuse physical contact. After months of tension, he issued a firm ultimatum: no intimacy until she sought professional help. The next day, she scheduled and completed treatment at a delousing clinic with his support. The lice were eradicated, resolving the immediate issue, though the incident left lasting emotional strain on their relationship.
