And the discussion of the content of morality comes in once we agree upon that point. So, do we agree?

I didn't realize I had to explicitly state each and every thing - the woman made the right/moral/good choices. The man did not make the right/moral/good choices. Since he did not make the opposite choices, his choices were not wrong/immoral/bad - so he is guilty of sin of omission, though not commission. The consequence of that was having a poor quality of life. And yes, the statement "the woman's life was better" is an objective judgment.
