Simply blocking a doorway with no physical act or threat is not a criminal offense.
A past history of the blocker being violent could very well compel me to advise a person call the police on their spouse; just to be on the safe side in case shit goes down. But in absent of that AND in having no physical act or threat present, calling the cops isn't typically the go-to in these situations.
Many reasonable, non-violent people DO do this sometimes. It simply means "Hey...I'm not done talking, yet."
During a fight? It doesn't depend. The person who blocks the person who is trying to walk away is the aggressor. And I guarantee you that the police would order her to step out of the way, once he called them.
A fight? He said she was trying to talk to him.
