My wife does it a bit. Not majorly, but when she's talking to northerners she forgets to pronounce the 'r' in bath and that sort of thing.
Obviously I take the piss out of her for it because that's how husbands are supposed to show support so she once emailed me a full-on study on the subject that basically confirms what your man said - that people who do it are generally highly empathetic people.
It's a thing.
