The key indicator on whether a marriage is going to survive is how respectfully the partners treat each other. It doesn't matter how much you argue, but it does matter if those arguments are laced with contempt.
And her little sniping comments and criticisms are exactly the kind of things which rate as contemptuous.
Not having more info than I can see here, it is impossible to state anything difinitive about anybody's situation, but Hec is not wrong about contempt.
I wish I had the research handy, but I don't. Still, contempt has been shown to be a very bad indicator for any relationship success...whether intimate, work related or familial.
The key is figuring out what role the contempt plays.
It's a green leafy ingredient type thing (condiment??I don't know.) Kinda like parsley but much yummier, unless you are Allyson.
Coriander.
Not so good on muffalettas.

I don't think I've ever had it, unless it's been mixed into a food and I didn't know it.
Coriander.
Cilantro is coriander?

I've never had a muffaletta, either. Is that the Starbucks drink, or a Creole dish? Are there similarly named things?

we planted some cilantro this weekend, and we knew, intellectually that coriantder was the seed, but it was funny, opening a seed packet and all these coriander seeds came rolling out. We could have just harvested from our spice cabinet.

Only in the States. Most other places use coriander for the leaf and the seeds.
Cilantro is coriander?
Yes. Once upon a time cilantro referred to the seed of the coriander plant, and coriander referred to the leaf. Then people who aren't Buffistas, i.e., aren't quite so careful with their words, misused it until cilantro came to mean the leaf, also.
ETA: The OED: Cookery (chiefly U.S.). In early use: the seed of the coriander plant. In later use (usually): the leaf of the coriander plant, as a seasoning or garnish, esp. when used in Mexican or Mexican-style cuisine.
