To say that Matt Rollins is controlled and henpecked by his wife Rachael is a sad understatement. For years he's put up with her nagging and bossiness.

Indeed, his wife was once the first to concur with that accolade, directly attributing his culinary skills to her expanding waistline, in fact.

And soon, despite having his wonderful daughter Ruby, whom he adored, by his side, he struggled to adjust to life being suddenly and unceremoniously single.
