Oh, my commanding wife!
So you finally put a ring on her finger and now you are both living together as husband and wife. But since the wedding she’s changed, and it’s not for the good.
Can a ring change a woman?
Wes, 34:
Yes, a ring can change a woman. Some women only live for the day they can walk around and flash the ring and called themselves Mrs so and so. Some women change in terms of not looking as sexy and appealing as before, and some also become controlling.
Hal, 44:
The ‘what’s yours is mine’ and ‘what’s mine is mine’ struggle is real. Some women don’t need a ring to be the boss and dictate how things are going to be. Sometimes it’s not that the man is soft why she gets her way, but sometimes for a peaceful life you just allow them to think they have the upper hand.
Ijah, 29:
I grew up in household where it was just my mother, my sister and myself. When my mother started seeing my stepfather he would come to the house and get treated like a king; all his needs were catered to. At first I was jealous because at nine I wanted to be the only man in the house. But when my mother got married to him and he moved in, all the lavish treatment he got before came to an end. My mother ran the show, he did all of the cooking, and by cooking I don’t mean he cooked what he wanted, my mother gave him a meal plan for the week. It was funny at first to see my mother control this man but the older I got the more I understood how their relationship worked and why it has lasted this long. He never looked at their relationship as a fight for who had the power, he saw it as ‘I love you no matter how miserable and demanding you are’.
Garrette, 35:
I think that some women view a ring as an accomplishment, as status, and sometimes it will get to their heads. But sometimes they fail to realise that a marriage is a partnership not a ‘I am the queen so do as I say’ movement.
Lammi, 33:
I don’t think the ring has anything to do with it as some women are so sweet when you get to know them, then they do a 360 on you. When I met my girlfriend I told her that I just wanted her to be real with me. I don’t like it when women change up on me. Because some of them act like they are bipolar at times and you don’t know which side of their personality you will be getting.
Ainsley, 41:
I believe that the ring gives some women strength that only they can feel. I met my wife when I was 30 and she was the most loving woman on the face of the Earth. But when we got married she became the most nagging woman in the universe. She will say she hasn’t changed and if she did, the children changed her, but we didn’t have children until three years after getting married.
Marc-Anthony, 34:
I really don’t think a ring can change anyone be it man or woman. These new behaviours are things that were hidden and would have come out at some point in time. When you just meet someone you will always be on your best behaviour to impress them and then as time passes the act of being nice fades and they show their true colours.
