So I have noticed this trend lately, and it kinda bothers me. Before I get too much further, I will put this disclaimer out there. I am a woman, and I love women. Women are strong and intelligent and capable of doing anything. I am all for women’s rights and lib and whatnot.

But what is happening to husbands and our marriages?

Let me explain. Today at the office, a bunch of ladies were talking. Married ladies of all ages. They were all sitting there, essentially bashing their husbands. Here is some of what I head…

“Well in my house, I do not allow my husband to….”

“If my husband weren’t so dumb….”

“The next husband I have will be like….”

This really shocked me. When did ladies stop respecting their husbands? It isn’t just the ladies in my office either. How often, on TV or wherever, have commercials or shows portrayed the husband as being stupid, fat, lazy, and incapable? Homer Simpson. Peter Griffin. Ray Romano. These are all “typical” husbands portrayed on television. Seriously? I mean, everybody has their problems, but I am pretty sure there is NO husband out there like Homer Simpson.

Here is what really gets to me. Even if your husband has problems, which all of them do, why on earth would you go into work and talk to an entire office about how stupid, or fat, or lazy, or clueless your husband is? Does it never occur to these women that the people in their office will one day likely meet this guy? How disrespectful. And sad. And just mean.

Listen fellow chicks. Your husband isn’t perfect. We all know that. Neither are you. But at least respect your husband and your marriage enough to not publicly bash him. Sure talk to a friend about him if you need to vent, but really, does everybody in your office need to know that you think your husband is an idiot? Respect him and love him, because he is yours. For better or for worse.

Give your husband a hug today, ok?
