Commentary for Ketubot 142:2

הניחא למ"ד דברים שבינו לבינה הבעל מיפר אלא למ"ד אין הבעל מיפר מאי איכא למימר דאתמר דברים שבינו לבינה רב הונא אמר הבעל מיפר רב אדא בר אהבה אמר אין הבעל מיפר שלא מצינו שועל שמת בעפר פיר

This explanation works according to the one who holds that a husband may annul [vows on] matters that are between him and her. But what can be said according to the one who holds that a husband may not annul [such vows]? For it was stated: [As to vows on] matters affecting matters between him and her: R. Huna says: A husband may annul them; R. Adda b. Ahavah said: A husband may not annul them, for we do not find that a fox should die of the dust of his den!
