who is the boss?

I remember this story that was often repeated about the relationship between a man and a woman, pre and post marriage. During the courtship stage, the man is all gentle and nice, opening doors, pulling chairs, waiting for his date and promising everything under the sky. The man will build a career, buy a car, build a house, diamond rings, holidays and all the goodies to charm the woman. And the woman will enjoy all the attention for those brief moments of courtship. Quietly the man would be saying to himself, 'Wait till after the wedding night then you know.' And sure after the wedding, when the rice is cooked, the man becomes the boss. What holding doors, pulling chairs? Go and prepare food, wash clothing, and look after the babies. And don't try to complain or the woman would get slap. If talk more nonsense, they will be locked up, in the house. Who is the real boss is only known after the contract has been signed. And the cycle gets repeated every now and then. And the woman never learn, and will find another man to boss them around.

  1. this is certainly not true. women would act coy and docile, prim and proper but, after marriage, no sex if this not done, that not done or if I don't have it my way.....I'll leave it to your imagination.

  3. Hey redbean just because you treat your wife with such contempt doesn't mean the rest of us do too.

  4. did i say anything about treating my wife with contempt? i am using this as an analogy and a generalisation. and it is a way of saying how our political system has become what it is today.

    specific cases are always different. and you don't need to feel so guilty about ill treating your wife.

  5. well, only someone with a sick mind like yours can come up with such analogies. Don't worry, you don't have to deflect the blame for treating your wife badly to other people. The rest of us treat our wives with dignity.
