Married women is this a true statement?

Question

Whenever a wife can't control every detail of her husband's life, the husband is not "meeting her needs".

I think it's a true statement.

Answer 1

ha! you're right, i'm a woman and i agree people do think that way here,, no wonder some men marry women from other countries,

Answer 2

First of all, why would a woman want to control every detail of her husband's life? That's not a marriage. That's dysfunctional. That, to me, seems like more of a mom & child relationship. A wife should not have to "control" every detail of her husband's life if her husband was a responsible, well-developed, and trustworthy person.

Second of all, it is not her husband's duty or responsibility to "meet her needs" simply because needs are always changing. It is an impossible task for a husband to "meet needs" or "assure happiness" because those conditions are subjective and change on a minute to minute basis.

I trust my husband and become quite irritated when he can't make a decision without checking with me. Other times, he makes decisions that make absolutely no sense or are counter-intuititive. It's finding the right balance and knowing the threshold after which permission or input from the other spouse is necessary that makes for a good marriage. Communication, trust and mutual respect are key.

Answer 3

I don't think that is true. It does, however, sound really bitter. On either side. I think that there are women who have outrageous "needs"....like the need to be controlling and bossy, and then there are men who refuse to honour and respect their wives..but as a wife, I'd have to say that I believe the former to be more prevalent.

I don't control every detail of my husband's life. We talk, we negotiate, sometimes we argue. We communicate. We try to see where each other is coming from and wants to go. We try to be a team. I'm not in control and neither is he. We serve and love one another.

No, I don't think you are accurate. Sorry.

Answer 4

There's a huge difference between him "meeting my needs" and him "holding up his end of the bargain". I don't need to be waited on hand and foot, I don't need him to tell me every detail of where he's going, what he's doing. I don't need to control anything he's doing. But, if you ask him, I do. He tells me I'm the only reason he's been able to save money, own a house, have the life he's always dreamed of. So, any control I do have over his life is because he tells me he wants it. I'd rather not have to do it.
My needs from him are very simple. Think of all of us before making a decision. It's what I do, it's what I would expect him to do. If he can't do that, then we have problems.
I do not believe your statement to be true in the least.

Answer 5

On the contrary, a woman controlling every detail of her husband's life will find her needs are 'not being met'.

Women are only happy when their husband is strong, kind but independant.

Answer 6

I don't think it is true. What women really thinks she can control one detail of her husband's life??

Answer 7

No it's not true, a woman or man should not control each others lives, it's about mutual respect and love, and compromise. If you can't seem to meet her needs, then maybe it's because she doesn't want you too, and is finding every excuse to put distance between you two.

Answer 8

Not all women are controlling. Some women actually like their man to make their own decisions, that is what a man is.

Answer 9

No not true at all.... I like to see my husband happy and i feel we should meet their needs too as they should meet ours. 50/50 if you ask me as it is only fair ... We have no right to control our husbands every move as they have no right to control our every move.

Answer 10

no true, I never tried to control my husband and he did have times when he did not met my needs

Answer 11

Nope
