Origen — on 1Cor 7:2 (COMMENTARY ON 1 CORINTHIANS 3.33.23-25)

“You have given up your wife, to whom you are bound. This is a big step you have taken. You are not abusing her, you say, but claiming that you can be chaste and live more purely. But look how your poor wife is being destroyed as a result, because she is unable to endure your purity! You should sleep with your wife, not for your sake but for hers.”
