The Double Standard: A Man's Strength or Weakness?

There is no other reason why you don’t have the heart to love your wife. Someone said it is true: "A man's own wife is strength, and another's wife is weakness." (Not for everyone)

No matter how well his wife is dressed, the indifferent man will not say anything. If another woman catches his eye, he won’t forget to praise her given the chance.

He is reluctant to take his wife out, but eager to drop off the female office staff at the bus stop.

He will dismiss the food made by his wife without comment. However, if he attends a feast at a friend’s house, he will not hesitate to compliment the papaya prepared by another woman.

If his wife has a headache, he doesn’t show concern. Yet if any woman he knows catches a cold, he will be attentive and concerned.

He doesn’t pay attention to his own wife’s period, doesn’t check if she needs pads, but readily supports menstrual posts and articles written by other women.

If he flirts with other women, it is considered friendship. If the wife calls any male friend, it is deemed suspicious and illegal.

He scolds his wife harshly but goes to work without a fuss. If a co-worker sneezes near him, he apologizes and doesn’t inquire about his worried wife.

He seldom shares intimate conversations with his wife, but if given a chance to talk to other women, he does so with enthusiasm.

If his wife complains about the mother-in-law or family issues, the husband advises her. Yet if his friend expresses the same sorrow, he consoles her and even criticizes his family to comfort her.

He is unaware of his wife's preferences, hobbies, skills, favorite food, clothes, and shoes.

He would fight for the freedom and well-being of other women but ignores the needs of his own wife. If his wife goes to the neighbor's house without informing him, it’s a big issue.

In times of danger and calamity, your wife is your strength. Yet, another’s wife remains a 'weakness.'

There is more to say, but I will stop here.

Having said so much, it would be a shame not to mention this: seeing the behavior and character of some wives, it is surprising if husbands do not praise other women.
