Types of Husbands and Their Character Traits

Like items, husbands fall into various categories.  Take a look at these character traits and see if you can spot your husband.

 

Slave Driver Husband

 

This type of husband is very archaic in nature and such a control freak.  If he has his way, he will want to control how many times you breathe in a day.  His way of thinking and doing things is so old fashion you will be forced to glance at your calendar to make sure it isn't still the 16^th century.  Any attempt to act ‘modern’ with him is seriously rebuffed.  He’s very culturally minded and constantly wants to be treated like a demi-god.  To him, being romantic is for the weak-minded.  His wife is in a perpetual state of servitude to his every whim and is never consulted when major decisions about the home are being taken.  He sees his wife as one of his acquired household decor or property and nothing more.

 

Bachelor Husband

 

The bachelor husband is never serious with married life.  Although he is married, he still thinks and behaves like a bachelor, loves to do things on his own and wouldn’t think it proper to get the wife's opinion.  He loves his ‘space’ and jealousy guards it from any form of intrusion from the wife.  The bachelor husband would rather hang out with the ‘boys’ than with his wife.

 

General Husband

 

He is husband to every other woman except his wife.  He knows a lot about the personal lives of other women more than he does that of the wife.  He tends to show much concern and care to different women and, although not in a relationship with them, would readily offer to solve their financial problems without their asking.  Most of his friends, physically and in the virtual world, are mostly women.  A run through his contact list on his phone or his page on the social media will confirm this.

 

Visitor Husband

 

He’s never home.  He’s either away travelling for months or always working.  Anytime he re-surfaces, he’s always in hurry to leave; his home is more like a lodge than any other thing else.  He tries to provide the material needs of his wife and family but has very little or no time for them.

 

Parasitic Husband

 

This one is a leech; a very lazy one for that matter.  He can’t keep hold of a job for very long.  The parasite husband appears to be very loving but only sticks with the wife for nothing other than her money.  He sees nothing wrong in using his wife’s resources to cheat with other women.  He totally lacks any form of initiative to be useful around the house or help with chores.

 

Elixir-Needing Husband

 

This type of husband sees his wife as some kind of elixir.  He remembers and shows love to the wife only when he needs something only she could give him at the moment.  He’s a user, always receiving but not giving anything in return.  He is very clever and manipulative and knows how to sweet talk his way until he gets what he wants.   He will demand for her attention on the spur of the moment and knows all of her weaknesses.  He naturally would capitalize on them whenever he has a need, and, as soon as this need is satisfied, will forget  about the wife until it is time for another of his needs to be met again.

 

Man-Child Husband

 

The man-child husband is a man physically but still a child mentally. He cannot take a decision without first consulting his mother or any one of his relatives.  He never discusses his family issues with his wife and expects his wife to care for him exactly as his mother did. He never hesitates to draw comparisons between his wife and other women, especially is mother.  What his mother thinks, overrides what his wife says.

 

Acidic Husband

 

This type of husband is as grumpy as they come and runs the affairs of his home with military precision.  He's a volcano ready to explode and you can never catch him smiling or playing at home with his family.  He’s always angry, moody, dominating, screaming and generally tough from all angles.

 

Emotionally Dry Husband

 

He totally lacks a sense of humour and is emotionally distant from the wife.  It will be asking for too much from him to emotionally invest in the marriage to make it enjoyable.  In addition to being self-centred, he lacks empathy and can never try to see things from his wife's point of view.  He is also very stingy with his money and doesn’t consider the happiness of the wife as his responsibility.

 

Good Husband

A good husband will embody many different positive characteristics, including being a good listener and communicator as well as being able to apologize without being prompted.  He cares for and loves his wife to a fault and sees her as a partner.  His family comes first. Always. He is very respectful, compassionate, faithful, responsible and supportive at all times.  He ensures that his family is never in need.  He strives daily to create time for the family and most importantly leads and guides his home spiritually.
