The Most Things Wives Hated In Them Husbands

So what is it that doesn’t make you the favourite person in your wife’s life? Actually, there is quite a list

The ten things women dislike most about their husbands… distilled from years of research. Look, you don’t have to agree, you might have an eleventh very good reason, but this is my piece, okay, so live with it. These are issues that exclude cheating, violence and that sort of serious stuff.

These are the little things that can become big things and suck out the respect from a relationship. They start in a benign fashion and then they become malevolent and mean and nasty and start the divide which can, if uncontrolled, turn into a chasm.

From my viewpoint if you get a three mark or more ‘yes’, be sure you are not your wife’s favourite person. More than five ticks and you are not even your own favourite person.

The mess

Slopping bathroom floors, soaked towels, clothes flung every which way, shoes and socks tossed into a corner and shaving debris mixing with leaking tubes that do not have their tops on. Wives hate sloppy husbands. It may be tolerable when you are dating but it is a pain in the neck when you live under the same roof. Contrary to the odd couple Walter Matthau and Jack Lemmon myth, there is nothing dear about messy husbands.

Food fetishists

Many husbands provide 
a running commentary over the dining table 
comparing dishes to not just how Mom makes them but how the last one 
was and why is there less salt and how come the meat isn’t so tender and today’s main course hasn’t got that right colour and texture. Such culinary commentators make wives count to ten slowly and it 
is a surprise they don’t throw something at the fellow. Some men actually spend half the time talking about food and how well or not it has been cooked. They may not realise this but it is true.

Liars

Wives detest husbands 
who lie, exaggerate, underplay or embellish simply to come off looking good or to hide the facts. Usually, such deceit is aimed at making the husband the hero of the story he’s relating but a wife can see through it. Why show off or pretend to add a dimension to a situation that never really happened? Husbands inclined to build up their self-image in this fashion end up earning the wife’s contempt. Don’t say you travelled biz class when you travelled coach. Don’t lie about your car. If it is cheap one, you don’t have to explain to others that 
you have a Merc at home. No one cares… except your wife… because you sound so stupid.

Money haranguers

These self-styled detectives are constantly investigating where the money went and how come we are over budget and why aren’t you more careful with the expenses, where do you think money grows (on trees?) — an endless litany of complaints. Such men usually have no such compunctions about satisfying their ‘wasteful’ needs, from clothes to cigarettes to golf clubs to tennis rackets but everything else is a thorough waste. You want to put your wife off, keep whinging about money. Many husbands lose out because they suck the fun out of every gesture of kindness or generosity by launching a running commentary with everything they do. Be graceful in your gifting or don’t gift.

The good guys

Husbands who play off Mom with the children and relatives, letting her play the bad guy role without her agreement, automatically letting her take the blame for everything that goes wrong. A lot of husbands make it second nature to pass the buck and shrug off their part in the proceedings going sour. The older men often manipulate from behind, pulling the strings but never giving it away that it’s them who are putting words into the wife’s mouth.

The snubbers

Nothing annoys a wife more than a husband 
who constantly shuts her up. Again, contrary to the general impression this sort of ‘you be quiet’ attitude is not limited to only the less affluent classes. Even the highly placed engage in shameless chauvinism and are often heard to say ‘you won’t understand’ or ‘this is not your scene’ or ‘we are into man talk, not for you’.

Publicists

Women actively dis-
like being snubbed or embarrassed in front of outsiders by husbands 
who want to get into a domestic row with them in front of company. Some husbands are foolish enough to earn the wife’s undying hostility by sharing details of private confrontations in order to obtain 
external support. Nothing is more embarrassing than a couple fighting in public… if you must go on, do it at home.

 

Life of the party

Men who take over a get-together and monopolise attention while the wives cringe at the old routine scarcely earn any points. Wives loathe husbands who insist on being the centre of attraction, impervious to the atmosphere or the crowd. Being fun once in a way is okay but not every time… then you are an embarrassment.

Crudeness

There is nothing cute about foul language, obscene gestures or lewdness of any sort. Don’t think you are impressing your woman by being cheap. That’s all she thinks you are… cheap. And if your sense of hygiene is anything like your speech then she has great reason to sit on the sofa and moan over her bad luck in getting you as a husband.

The tenth negative speaks for itself. If you can’t control yourself don’t have it.
