Kinds of hubbies... Who are you?

Here, we can see who we are when it comes to marriage... what exactly have you been?

[1] The explosive, argumentative, domineering husband:
 Because of immaturity and feelings of inferiority, this man becomes a tyrant over his wife and children through shouting, intimidation (whether physical or verbal), and never admits that he has made a mistake.


[2] The compulsive husband: 
The compulsion may expresses itself in various forms – addiction to alcohol or drugs, over-devotion to work or any activity that either insulates him from close emotional relationships or from criticism.

[3] The uncommunicative husband, 
further classified into (a) the passive, shy male; (b) the “strong, silent” husband; (c) the limited conversation husband; and (d) the turned-off” husband.

[4] The child husband: 
Either this kind of husband has to prove his masculinity over and over again, or he is still tied to mother’s apron strings.

[5] The hypochondriac husband: 
Remember the 1985 movie “Innerspace” starring Meg Ryan, Dennis Quaid and Martin Short? Hypochondriacs think they suffer from all kinds of sicknesses.

[6] The passive, silent passive, or retreating husband:
 Either because of early childhood upbringing or a failure in work, this kind of husband has retreated into the safety of his own world, refusing to communicate with his family.


[7] The playboy husband


[8] The neurotic tightwad: 
Remember that famous scene in “Gone With The Wind” where Scarlette O’Hara promises herself that she will be never poor or go hungry again? Well, this kind of a husband fears not having money and thus keeps a tight watch over the family’s finances, with his own needs taking first place over that of his family
