How high is your tolerance as a wife?

I just appreciate those wives who have high tolerance with their husbands attitude and behavior. I know of one who is very patient with her husband. Well, I am not that patient. I will give reasons when I think I am right but most often I'm in the middle of high & love tolerance. My friend I think has very low tolerance because when her husband, ignore her request, or maybe he is doing something else and do hers later? oh!! my!! she is getting wild. She would create a scene to let her husband do her request first before anything else. Well, I think it depend upon how important it is.. or is it an emergency? Well, are you a wife with high tolerance? How did you manage it? It's always good to learn from others. Thanks

Hi..maybe your friend was spoiled by her parents when she was young? Anyway, I used to be like that when I was single and was just in a relationship..I was spoiled when I was young and I want to get things done my way..I want my boyfriend to always put me in his number one priority..i don't care beyond that, just me first before anything else..I was selfish because I have some personal issues when I was young..Getting attention is one reason..Your friend should analyze herself and think of what has triggered this kind of attitude..There must be a reason why she's like that..Maybe sometimes, she's provoking her boyfriend just to see how much he loves her and how much he can take..One way of knowing if he would really love her no matter what.. When my husband and I got married, I was still the same way but after a long talk with my husband, I gradually changed for the better. Guess, I was too scared to lose him if I dont change my attitude. But as i said earlier, something must have happened in the past that made her like that..People can change - only if they want to...

Ok you are asking how tolerant I can be. I don't know the answer but I can say that I am very patient with my husband. Although I am working I still manage to cook our food and attend to the needs of my family. I do still have some time for my baby, do the laundry and iron it, clean the house, go to market and other duties of a wife. When its time for my baby's check up I do make a point that Im the one who bring her to the doctor. And if my husband is sick I also took care of him.

I am a very patient wife. I don't have much demands to my husband first of all, he does his duties as a husband and father. Second, I was raised being independent. I used to do things on my own. Sometimes even those hard and difficult things that I can't do, i try to do them myself. And often when my husband sees me doing hard things he quickly helps me. When I do that he often jokingly says I make him look like a worthless husband. I guess I'm just a "no big deal" person. I think your friend needs help. Creating a scene just to make her husband do what she wants is a big puzzle to me.
