After 15 Years of Marriage, the Wife of a Mexican

After 15 years of marriage, the wife of a Mexican American man left him due, she said, to his heavy drinking. He drank only after a hard day's work and does not think he has an alcohol problem. But since she left, he is thinking twice. What occurred?

A) His machismo let him feel that he fulfilled obligations by working hard and he deserved to drink without criticism. Now he feels emasculated and powerless.
B) He is too full of machismo and cannot see how his alcohol dependence ruined his marriage. You are glad his wife finally left him after 15 years.
C) He is experiencing acculturative stress, forgetting the fatalistic perspective of his culture. His wife was fated to leave. He does not have a problem.
D) He has lost his feeling of machismo, which allowed him to hold his liquor.
