Why Do Wives Manipulate Their Husbands? by Nobody: 11:11am On Oct 03, 2014
I have come to observe this anomaly with a particular neighbour acting weird and insensitive,bidding to the whims and caprice of his darling wife.

His father came visiting sometime ago and he did one despicable act I don't like. He went with his family to the wife family house within the vicinity and locked his popsie outside. The old man went out too to see some relatives and when he came back around 8PM, there was no one in the house to open the door for him as his Son and family have gone to his inlaws place. The old man call, call and called the son yet the son kept telling him they are coming and at a point he refuse picking his fathers call. It was around 10PM I ushered the man into my house and he complained bitterly to me about the harsh treatment his son is meting out to him. Son finally came back from his inlaws place with his family around 11:20PM before he retrieve him from my house

One time I went to watch a match involving Barcelona with a girlfriend to my neighbours apartments and equally met some dudes in the sitting room watching. When we were all settled to watch the match...lo and behold, the channel was changed to cartoon network from the adjoining room and husband couldn't protest and we all dismissed! Football ended that minute.( wife overruled football).

Just yesterday, this neighbour threw out his brother in law(the person marrying his junior sister who recently lost his job and came to squat with his family while doing some menial jobs to survive) things out last night and according to the guy, this was instigated by the wife. All my neighbour's mother pleading has turn on deaf ears...as at now, my neighbour has refuse picking his mother calls nor the father over the issue and here, I am hosting a totally stranger in my house as a good neighbour.

The father has complained to me why will a son he gave quality education be treating him this bad even though he knows it is the wife engineering things and he wouldn't want to mention her to me.

The bitter truth is that it seems the wife picks the bills in the house as the husband lost his paid job few years ago. But one thing that puzzles me is that the woman appear to be a good person cos I have never seen her insult, quarrel or denigrate the husband before. She hardly talks.

I should have mind my business but I am always the last resorts cleaning up their marriage mess indirectly not affecting them anyway.

My question is, WHY WILL A MAN ACT WEIRD COS OF A WOMAN?

@op: You are not a good neighbor.

You are a gossip and you need to mind your business. Why are you playing God?? How dare you house him (brother-in-law) after he has been thrown out? You need to respect yourself Mr.

You could have given him money but let him go, it's not your place. You are only causing trouble and breeding negative energy between you and your neighbor.

You did a nice thing by housing the father temporarily, but don't go further. You can't continue to offer a ear to his begrudged family members.

I understand your concern but I am sorry to disappoint you. I can't pretend and watch my fellow man property destroyed by the rain after being thrown out impromptu just because he had an ish with his brother in-law who happen to be my neighbour. Helping him, I guess will give him ample time to strategies and think his relocation proper. He can't stay past 2 days anyway.

We've to pray to find help whenever we encounter such situation cos no amount of money can help at such confused and trying moment.

Re: Why Do Wives Manipulate Their Husbands? by Nobody: 2:46pm On Oct 03, 2014
Truth is OP, it's not easy to be a married man. When you get married too you will understand.
A man is usually influenced by his wife in marriage... Usually, and you as a man may feel it is better to offend your parents than offend a wife.

I really don't know how to put it because it wouldn't really sound balanced.
What I am certain of is that most women are not really good at heart. Trust me. Women are very evil, wicked and subtle.
They can cause problems in a mans life and family especially towards his family.

My wish is that may the good ones among the women find a good man to complement them as well.

Obim, I am a social scientist and what goes around me is what I called "catchment apparatus" for social science evaluation and deduction to build up hypothesis. I will drew conclusions from such experiences and that's it.

Kai, if true, this woman has brain washed those children. I guess she wants to frustrate the guy out of the house, instead of her leaving him. But that changing the tv to cartoons bit would feel soooo demeaning, I dont pray my enemy to be in such a situation, see disgrace. The fact that you havent heard her insulting him doesnt mean its not done quietly, how then do the kids get these ideas? I pity the guy, poverty is indeed a bast.ard.

Psychological manipulation is a type of social influence that aims to change the behavior of others through underhanded tactics. By advancing the interests of the manipulator, often at another's expense.


Do not pretend or act like you don't understand the situation here.

I know what manipulation is and therefore my question. I don't see it in the stories the OP provided. Do you?
