A lady narrated online that she is scared of marriage after seeing how her sister lives in constant fear of her husband. According to her, the sister’s baby accidentally fell, yet the sister panicked and asked, “What if my husband finds out?”—a reaction that shows an unhealthy level of fear in the home. This story sparked numerous reactions, including one disturbing comment that read: “A little bit of fear is vital in every relationship. It is fear of the wife that makes a man not bring side chicks home.”
This comment is concerning because it glorifies fear as a relationship strategy, suggesting that partners should behave well only when intimidated. Normalizing fear encourages toxic power dynamics and undermines the principles of mutual respect, emotional safety, and healthy communication that real relationships should be built on.
