Why would a wife keep her husband on a tight leash?

Answer 1

A wife may keep her husband on a tight leash for various reasons, such as a lack of trust due to past behavior, a need for control in the relationship, or fear of losing the husband's attention or affection. This behavior can stem from underlying issues like insecurity, communication problems, or past experiences that have influenced the wife's behavior. It is important for both partners to communicate openly and address any underlying issues to maintain a healthy and balanced relationship.

Answer 2

Any person who is over-controlled is likely to slip the leash at the earliest opportunity. From direct observation, a tight leash simply means the person will be more inventive when it comes to a reason to escape. Intentionally frustrating your mate, be they man or woman, is unlikely to be to your advantage in the long run.

Answer 3

I happen to know about four men who are in this type of situation, my ex being one of them. Ha-ha! These women are usually controlling, insecure of themselves, and insecure of their marriage/relationship with their husband because they managed to "trap" these men by getting pregnant. (at least that is the case with the men I know in this tight leash situation). It is very unbecoming of a man who subjects himself to it just to keep the peace and, for me personally, it's difficult to respect a man that allows a woman to do this to him. This is no way to live. It shows to everyone that SHE is the boss, SHE wears the pants, and SHE sets down the law. I thoroughly dislike women like that and it is obvious to many what the real issue is with them. I think they are pathetic.
