What is your first thought when you see a woman disobeying and talking back to her husband?

Question

For example, let's say he told her to get his bathwater ready and she refused and told him to do it himself and this was right in front of everyone.

Answer 1

good, God above gave him 2 good hands and legs and a BRAIN to do that or anything else his dang self!!

Answer 2

I'd think, "he set himself up for that, the idiot."

Answer 3

I'm guessing he is a jackass, and he has no respect for his wife and if he keeps that garbage up he wont have a wife if she was smart

Answer 4

"oh, they are arguing"  

Answer 5

the same if he did it to her.... that the marriage was just about over.

Answer 6

I'd think her husband was being rather foolish and unloving to be telling his wife to be doing anything. It is one thing to ask and it is always her right to refuse and sometimes she should, but to demand? How rude.

Whether this situation takes place in private or with others around does not make a difference in the rights of his wife to refuse or disagree and the rudeness of this example husband.  

Answer 7

Go for it girl. Don't start doing anything you don't want to do for the rest of your life.

Answer 8

He should've never said that in front of people.  Instead, ask her at a later, more private time.  NEVER tell your spouse to do something.  It's not nice.  Besides, if the shoe was on the other foot, would you like it?  I think not.

Answer 9

You go girl!

Answer 10

A wife is not a steak, do not order her. In other words, you got what you deseved!    Walk out of your cave slowly and take a good look at the 21st century!!

By the way,  I do not believe in ordering around husbands either.

Answer 11

goody for her unless he was not able she did him just right  two thumbs up

Answer 12

She has a back bone. It's not the 1950's no more. A man has two arms, two legs, hands etc..they can do things for them selves. And I think any woman who caters to her husbands every need like that is pathetic and has no self esteem.

Answer 13

I would say good for her. She isn't disobeying and he isn't her child.  He can do it his self.

Answer 14

I'd say they're both on the fast track to divorce-town

they both sound like really trashy ignorant people with no manners and no regard for each other.

Answer 15

Sounds like my boy needs to put on his gators, step out with his pimpin' foot, and let the other one follow.  If he don't smack the b back in line, he might as well have his jewels made into ear rings for her.

Answer 16

I'd probably applaud, and so would every other woman there.

But I don't hang around with barbarian slavers, so it would never happen.

BTW, my man knows better than to EVER issue me an order...his shlt would be packed up and tossed on the lawn in an hour.

Marriage is a partnership, not a master/slave relationship.

Answer 17

Um, I'd  say good for her. Woman shouldn't be doormats in a marriage.

Answer 18

Good for her!

Answer 19

That he is an a** and their marriage sucks!!!  

Answer 20

Both are wrong: They should already have that experience together before there are guest.

He: Should have not thought he could just come out in front of everyone and tell her to make his bathwater.... he was trying to show off and make her his little slave.

She: Was right to be angry. SHe ain't no maid.

If in there marriage they have not discussed this information before hand he was wrong to ask....like that...in front of company.  

Answer 21

I'm guessing he is no gentleman.

Answer 22

1 Why would anybody be taking about bathwater in public.

#2 I would hear the whip cracking.  

Answer 23

EVERYONE ? are they living in a commune? Why can't he draw his own water? Sounds like a looney bin.

Answer 24

She's tired of being asked for so much, and he can run his own bath water.

Answer 25

My first reaction would be better them than me.

And there isnt such thing as "disobeying and talking back" in a marriage.

Unless thats a culture or a religion thing i dont know its really not my territory.

Maybe the wife & husband should take a bath together. If the wife does a favor for the husband its only out of love and respect and i feel as though the husband should in return do something sweet for the wife.

Answer 26

This question is wrong on so many levels.Who taught you women should be subservient to men. Husbands & wives are partners equals you ask a partner to do something you don't tell them  

Answer 27

Only an insecure loser a--hole would talk to his wife like this.

There is a gulf of difference between asking and telling.

To do so in front of others to me proves my point, so good for her!
