a husband and wife story
A story I have heard in the past, but not to this extreme. The husband is in a band and wishes to go out and practice at a fellow band member's home for their up and coming gig.The wife, is suffering from depression and does not get out of the house much.
The husband informs his wife that he needs to go out and practice at his friend's place for their up and coming gig, the wife tells him he don't have time for it, and do not go.
The husband says, we 'need' to practice and decides to go anyway.
The next night the wife decides to go to the bar alone and get wasted. She pulls up in the driveway in some stranger's truck (a man). She gets out of the truck and then decides to get back in and don't come back for another 2 hours.
The husband is wondering what is going on.
That night, she comes home touting about how good the night was and how wonderful that man in the truck was. They both go to bed. The woman gets up and leaves the room then returns to bed.
The husband turns the light on to notice she is holding a knife and then she threatens to use it on him.
Thankfully, nobody got seriously injured....the woman is in jail...and the divorce papers have been served.
Now....
What makes a woman think that she has so much control over her husband? I have seen and heard countless stories where the woman does not approve of when the husband leaves on his own (usually in instances not related to work), and the wife gets very upset and does some sort of 'pay back,' if you will.
Now....
It is easy to say, she was bad news...she is toxic....she is insecure...she is suffering some sort of mental illness.
But.... I have heard these stories....very similar in nature, so many times....where the husband wishes to do something on his own and the wife reacts in an extreme way.
Is this the nature of many women? some women? all women? hardly any women?
Of course, the story I tell here is from the husband's side. There are always two sides....but, he is not the one sitting in jail right now.
Is it primarily women who behave this way, or have you seen or heard of very few men, some men, or most men acting this way also?

That lady sounds pretty cruddy. You do her a favor and not feed her that service station burger...then she uses it against you in the end. Granted, not to your face, but to your back.
Robert, you might have to write another book about all these women who done you wrong. You are a tough man.
Thanks for sharing a history I really was not aware of. That one girlfriend you had that wondered why you didn't hit her....
I suppose that divorce was not so easy of an option back in those earlier days. My thoughts would be, if either spouse is not happy with what the other is doing, it is either time to talk and communicate about things, or time to back the bags. I don't think anyone owns anyone....but, like you mention, the earlier days that was not the case with men supposedly owning their wives.
Again Ken, great story and info.
I'm sticking with a wingman position where I can claim your wondrous deeds.uh,what are they again.
If it doesn't fit,you must acquit.
