My husband is not this way, in fact, on some days I wonder if he will still have a job after he states his opinions. Even tho he is a pain that says what he thinks, he is respected by his peers. ... But if he was a successfull brown noser and was doing the type work he enjoyed then so be it, I wouldn't complain about him being a butt kisser, especially if his paycheck was plentiful.

First and foremost, both my husband and I have held jobs that were entry-level positions for small business owners and up to professional positions for major companies in the Fortune 500 and never resorted to sycophantic behavior to any employee, manager, supervisor, foreman, owner or corporate executive. It demeans your worth to the company and no employer or boss gains anything from having only agreement or toady input and eventually seeks elsewhere for fresh ideas or constructive criticism.
In these modern times of two-career marriages, I was surprised and disappointed to read other wives answer that brown nose, kiss-up behavior in their husbands to their bosses is acceptable to have his paycheck in hand. My husband worked for a tyrant that would lay him off for stating a differing opinion or offering a new solution for months sometimes and I slept just fine. If you know your job and do it well, there's no need to be someone's dog. My husband never worked his butt off to be the Big Guy's pal--he was there to do his best and improve how it was done.
There should be more to a job than getting a check--there should be pride and self-respect.

My first husband was a Grade A Turbo Schmoozer. There was not a butt he didn't kiss. He makes a ton of money and has gotten far in his career. He is also a very shallow human being.
My current husband is the polar opposite. He has even lost a job because he does not kiss any butt at all. You always know exactly where you stand with this man, and that is not always a good thing.

Well, in my opinion, if a woman's husband was that type, then most likely he also has that type of wife. It basicaly means he doesn't have the gumption to do things on his own, or to take control. He likes to be controlled and therefore would be far more likely to have a controlling wife as well.
I am rather gratefull my husband has learned over time to not immediatly get rowdy with anyone telling him what to do, but has learned instead when to say no, and when to go against his own opinion and allow someone else to be right. He is more than willing to allow someone else to be proven wrong before he says 'I told you so' lol. Of course, he also ended up with a wife that does the same thing and hates it when he gets proven wrong :D.

There is a certain amount of that kind of behavior that's exceptable, but being an excessive brown noser would actually cause me to question his authenticity on just about anything. I would have to ask myself, "Is he saying I look nice today because he really thinks so, or is he up to something?"

To me, brown-nosing is demeaning. But to a lot of people it's "politicking". All of the men in power, especially in government, had to do their share of "politicking" to get there. So it depends - do you want a manly husband who would never brown-nose, or is the paycheck and the corporate ladder more important?

if he brings bread on the table, then its ooookay with me.
but my husband is NOT like that at all.
he is an individual and has never ever kissed butt.
a lot of people are like that. but i guess thats how it is at work if you want to keep your job.
my husband and i are NOT like that. and i do think people like that have selfesteem problems. they fear that becus they dont do so well as another coworker they have to kiss up.

I'd sock him in the eye. No seriously I wouldn't like it one bit. I want a man who has morales and values and will stand up for them.

My husband kisses only one butt. I despise people like that but females are even worse.
