I agree with Juliana Castro's It’s Just PMS (In Fancier Language), as a woman we take a personal stand when reading this book and are quite sympathetic towards Mrs. Pontellier and her present situation 

 Edna Pontellier is a woman trapped in a society that doesn't recognize her as an individual, and in a love-less marriage which gives her less recognition than the rest of society. she has had enough and wants her rights and individuality recognized, this is why she has been acting so disagreeable towards her husband. she begins to act upon this feelings of hers and the first thing that her husband thinks is that she is going "crazy"just because she acts differently from what is expected from the Creole women of society. This observation from her husband could also be understood as unobservant because this wasn't the first time that se began acting against him, she began this behavior at Grand Isle when she refused to go inside even when her husband tried to make her.

Consequently, Mr. Pontellier cannot be considered as a loving husband who is concerned for his wife's health because he is actually a self-centered man who can't believe that his wife is actually developing a mind of her own and instantly writes her of as crazy.
