My female colleagues always complain about their husband. Their husbands doesn't care them and their parents. Their husbands is not interested in family's issues such as financial or when the kids are sick etc...Their husbands are very lazy and dirty. And there are very many bad things which they said. I don't know why. I know that male has many bad disabilities. However, they can't change after getting married? Maybe because my colleagues are too perfectionist?

there is no perfect man just like there are no perfect woman ,a good woman will never discus her husbands shortcomings with outsiders, that is not good , moreover the more you discus him is the more you make your colleagues interested in him,

It's not because your colleagues are perfectionist. I think it's because the people there around you are still living in the old days where husbands are only responsible for giving money and no responsibilitites when it comes to children and really taking care of their wife. Niwadays wives are not confined to the old norms. Husbands share equal responsibility in House chores. If this is not happening in their case, all I can say is that they're unlucky and they have all the right to complain.

Some women just want to vent, especially if they feel their husband isn't doing his part at home, it's hard to have all that on your shoulders and not feel like you have Confidant. Many bad disabilities I think you mean something else like faults, being messy and lazy are faults not disabilities. And yes they can change if they choose to do so, must don't want to, I'm talking about men and woman, most are set in their ways and want to have things their way. If the wife feels that her husband isn't engaging in the relationship or helping out, besides yelling at him, what can she do but vent, talk to people she knows that are having the same issues within their marriage. And to say that women always complain about their husband, isn't a fair statement, many men complain about their wives too, just about different issues. About your colleagues, i think you hear the one side and you want to take the husbands side since he isn't there to defend him self, you most likely don't know what is goes on in their home. Wanting their husband to care about things she cares about and wanting a clean home is not being a perfectionist.

Sadly, that's the usual repertoire of married ladies in our region, to meddle of their husband's personal life and share it with their colleagues just to have something to discuss, laugh until they gasp their breathe!

Because women are energetic. I noticed other family too. I think it is the nature of woman. That is good. It is for handling.

It is because they have many expectations and have also been brought up badly,with a wrong sense of values. Unless the husbands are real brutes it does not speak too well of women who crib like that. No one is perfect and a sensible person would maintain equanimity of mind by looking only at the positive qualities. If men start complaining like that no woman would like it.

Was your statement about a male changing after he marries a question or a statement? What makes a "perfectionist" female stay with a "lazy, dirty " male? She is earning a salary. Why stay with that kind of man and risk having more children to support?

When you marry a man with the thought changing him, you have lost your marriage already. I married the man I wanted, not the man I wanted to change. Over the years both of us have changed, but it was gradual and we worked together through every facet of our marriage. Never have either of us made it a habit to complain about each other to co-workers, neighbors or family. If we have problems, we discuss them with each other and work things out. To anyone outside our marriage, we made it a point to compliment each other in every way. Men are no less perfect than women. But both are terribly flawed if they only way they can talk about each other is to condemn them.

It really depends but then in the first place I think they should have known who they will spent for the rest of their lives before they have committed themselves into marriage. That is the problem with most women who are still in fantasy that men will change into good just because of them. They don't realize that they are just torturing themselves into that situation. Some women doesn't want to confront their husbands regarding their complaints. I am wondering at times that how come some women needs to tell a lie with their husbands.

There perhaps complaining because those things are true and they are tired of all the things that their husbands don't do. And so they vent about it to friends and their co-workers. Usually in this regard woman do not want perfection from their husband they just want their husband to help out in some way shape or form.

hi, That is because of man are from Mars, women are from Venus. Have you read the book? In a marriage when the couple lack understanding about each other, complaints arises. It is not about perfection but it is about the expectations. When we expect more and get less it makes us irritated. Tell them to appreciate their husbands for any one good thing during the day and see the result. I think this relationship is a mutual fund where love need to be collectively invested and reaped over the years. have a nice time.

Sure seems like that happens alot and frankly I think it is inappropriate in any Situation, however, on the Job it is in poor Taste and unprofessional. Complaints about a Spouse or Partner need to be dealt with them and at Home. With Friends I have a Rule, I will listen to the Complaint a couple of Times and then I ask them to please do something about it or keep it to themselves. If they are so miserable then leave and find what they want. There is a Difference between someone that needs a Shoulder and Ear and those who just can't keep their Personal Issues private. I would find it very disturbing if my Significant Other was telling others about what he finds distasteful about me and my Habits. I would not be in that Relationship if I found out. So, if it bothers you try and walk away and if you can't just tell them that this is not something you appreciate. That's what I do and if they don't like it, then just think would you want that type of Person and if they say these Things about their Spouse, just imagine what they say about others.

Most of the women are perfectionists.In other words they desire the ideal situation.Men most of the time aren't extremely particular about details,hence this impression among women that men are lazy and dirty.But i don't agree that men don't care for the children,i feel it all depends on person to person.

Husbands behave the way they do for a reason. Which is it? I don't know. Though most of them deserve a slap in the face, they still have retained a good heart. The problem sometimes with women is that they only see the bad sides of their partner. I might be wrong but mostly finding fault with such husbands though successful does not warrant shame on the part of men. The reasons probably lie at the culture and rearing. It takes a set of favorable circumstances to mold a perfect man. But when did they receive it?

I would like very much to complain about my husband but then I found out that he sings praises of me to his friends so I couldnt although I want to!

I think not all women but some are, the problem is they don't think about sharing household responsibility from the day one they get married. that's how the problem started
