bossing her around against her will

Who said anything about that?

when the husband is any idiot, a bum

Being a bad husband doesn't relieve the wife from her honoring and obeying him any more than a bad wife relieves the husband from loving her as Christ loves the church.

when the husband is a drunkard or a Moslem [Muslim?]

Wives, submit yourselves unto your own husbands, as it is fit in the Lord. Ephesians 5:22-24.

If a wife is being physically abused or threatened, my judgment is she should leave for a safe place until things can be straightened out or for good if they can't. "As it is fit in the Lord" - God has called us to peace (1 Corinthians 7:15).

I'm giving you this even though you don't seem to receive it. As I said, it seems to me you don't believe the Bible, don't know it, or don't care.

That is a ludicrous proposition utterly out of phase with Christ’s injunctions.

Submission is against someone’s will.

I watch the programs describing the obsessive and possessive husbands who the wives try and get away from and frequently wind up dead. Apparently the killers believe as you do that their wives are nothing but property and chattel.

Leaving for good is not an option with your view since it goes against the Biblical injunction not to divorce.
