To be shocked at way some men view their wives

[JaceLancs]

Sat in a coffee shop waiting to meet a colleague just now
2 men at an adjoining table talking about going away on a golfing weekend
Man A asked man B if his wife was ok with being left at home (again) presumably looking after their DC, costs of said weekend were also mentioned
The reply was basically a politer version of that she should put up, shut up and put out
It wasn’t particularly what was said it was the impression that she was viewed as a commodity, he even talked about her smoking and drinking habits like he was commenting on an employees failings
Up to that point he had come across like Mr average respectable business man
Thankfully they left as I was very tempted to comment in some way (I’m old enough these days not to care about what response I would get - and am known for being fairly bold how)
It was just the everyday acceptance of the gulf between the sexes that hit me
Hope his wife is ok

I missed my last line; we are to a lot of men, incidentals, we make the things happen.

The things that they don't notice till they don't happen

And then there is rage

It cuts both ways. I have read tonnes of posts on here from women who have little liking it respect for their OHs. I'm shocked at how some women 'don't allow' their OHs to go on a stag do, or go out with mates. Lots of sneering from women about how their OH takes care of their children.

It was only a matter of time before we got told "women do it too"
Sigh

Oh yes, I’ve seen women posting about their partners. I have never, not once seen any of them taking the view that their partner should put up, shut up and put out. Never.
