Husband drinks & stays out late - Does yours?

[3Boys]

Is the imprinting so poor for our boys that they behave in such a way towards their wives and children? My DW probably has more time out with her friends (every couple of months) than I do with my pals. When I am out for drinks it far more often with the wife than not.

My husband and I are like that too. We entertain a great deal together. We hang out with each other a lot... and we never frequent night spots. It's not my habit and it has never been his. I am thankful for that.

There were times when I failed to reach DH, I had to resort to calling some of these people whom he might be hanging out with. It was embarassing both for him and for me.

very embarassing, i say.

yupe, hehehe just like a mil calls the wife every 5 minutes to ask for his wherebaouts etc when she cant get him. can even call his boss, workmates, primary school friends, secondary school friends, uni frineds, church friends, pastor, dr, the tea lady and maybe the girlfriend.... :rotflmao:

everyone's reaction would be like \"huh, mama's boy\".........

so if it is the wife who called everyone, words on the street would be \"xxx is henpecked\", \"xxx's wife always check on him, poor guy no freedom\"...............etc.

You, my dear, are one in a million. Someone who is evolved and yet managed to retain that manliness. :evil:

A lot of times, these boys or even girls are not prepared for the changes that married life will bring. They think that it is just a matter of walking down the aisle and signing some papers and saying \"I do\" and life goes on as per normal. Another problem is a lot of our boys and girls have not experienced living on their own, most live with their parents until marriage so they know nothing about keeping house. Women being women, we are wired in such a way that we are predisposed to 'nurturing'. So when given a home, we want to 'nurture' that home so women tend to settle down much faster then men do once married.

My very simple way of thinking. hehe.

J you st very distressing to me that people can eter into a marriage and treat their spouse with such contempt. Upbringing is all wrong. Hope our boys take the right things from their parents. We are far from perfect but we have a lot of affection for each other and a lot of give and take, makes it easy.

Is it all that surprising that guys behave like that?


From early childhood. When it comes play, most parents will balk at the idea if their sons prefer to play with masak masak and dolls instead of guns and soccer. Girls are encouraged to stay home to play while boys are encouraged to go out and play. Boys should be outside playing games, running, etc while girls should be inside playing with their barbie dolls and cooking set. Isn't this the age old stereotype. These days, even though more are encouraging girls to be out playing boy stuff, few are encouraging the boys to play the girl stuff.

My oldest is a girl. DH panicked when he saw DS picking up DD's girlie toys and started playing with them. He promptly went out and picked out guns and pirate swords and all the boy stuff for DS. He was not happy when DS prefers to play masak masak with DD instead of playing with the guns he bought.

So yeah, the imprint on a lot of our guys is such. They are suppose to be out playing, not home.

Ok :offtopic: oredi.

I am quite surprised to read quite a few cases of husbands went out drinking and left tbe family and kids to the wife. I wonder has it got to do with our NS ? Because I know one of my ex-colleague always went out drinking with his army mates.


Anyway, for myself, We do things together most of the time, outside of work. My hubby will be the chauffeur driving us around for enrichment classes on weekend, and we have tea/coffee together while waiting for the kids.

My husband is a Malaysian, so there is no army mate to go drinking with. Anyway, dont think he likes or can drink much.
