Err. shes said stuff like this on several occasions not just "one sentence." Not to mention, did you conveniently miss her flip out at the end of her current route? "NOOOOOOO Please! Don't Go! I'll do anything!!" (BTW, thats a direct Quote from Linda) without giving a single glance or a word to her supposed beloved and chases after Bob, is not the way someone acts if a marriage is truely dead neither is it how a truly dominant woman acts and handles such a situation.You're picking one sentence to fit a narrative that is not supported by the rest of the game.
There is a big divide between saying to her son to be "confident and aggressive", and what you said changing things with her husband. As Eerie Entity said, the marriage is dead. She even said as much! She wants her son to be more of a man, to be the man to replace his father. That's perfectly reasonable (within the confines of this story, at least).
But hey, people love to "Head canon" stuff, and thats their right, but this stuff is plain to see if you arent shipping things in your mind. Or it could just be a bit of bad writing, but I have a great deal of experience with dominant people, and studied relationship psychology extensively in university, and have worked with couples with dead marriages, so Im willing to concede perhaps the writers have not had such experiences and could not be consistent with the writing.
