Why do Chinese husbands fear their wives?

guest3130	Some of my Chinese friends told me that many Chinese husbands fear their wives. In Chinese, these who fear their wives are called “???”. Usually, their wives set some rules for them and they should abide by these rules. Here are some examples: No.1 Be patient when she is making up herself. No.2 Be generous when shopping with her. Buy her whatever she likes. No.3 Don’t complain about anything if she does something wrong or treats you unfairly. No.4 Get back home on time. This is very important. However, some henpecked husbands it is a good virtue to do whatever your wife tells you to do. Personally, I think it is a little bit funny. What do you think of these rules, gentlemen? Do you fear your wife? I want to hear Chinese gentlemen’s voices.

My fellow men are probably thinking but you cant understand women, maybe not but least we should try. I love and respect my wife but I have no fears because I know she feels the same way about me.

Same goes for some men living with women who also get physically violent or verbally abusive. And lets not forget the verbal/emotional abuse which of course works both way.

JC, I have noticed the same.
And thought too that how their life would be indoors.

About verbal abuse, I think women are better in it.

Generally, I (only) think in cultures where it is taught to girls that man is the only head in family, there is more fear for husbands among women. In Western cultures girls are nowadays taught they are equal with men, so fear for husband comes from the acts of husband, not from what has been taught.
