[Born in a Rage]

They also NEVER criticize their husbands in public

Wow. They must really know their place in the world and to remember never to speak unless spoken to...woof, woof. What are they so afraid of...that their husband will 'teach them a lesson'?

What's your problem? A thoughtful wife never criticizes her husband in public. Sure, they talk to other women about him, but to demean him in front of other people is rude.

Men, of course, should never criticize their wives either.

Husbands and wives who rip each other in front of their friends usually have lousy marriages.
