A lady shared her fear of marriage after observing her sister’s experience, where a baby accidentally fell and the sister panicked—not because of the child’s safety, but out of fear of her husband’s reaction. Her story highlighted how fear can overshadow love in some marriages.
In response, a toxic comment bluntly stated: “Your husband is your second God; you should fear him.”
This comment is deeply problematic because it normalizes extreme submission and fear in relationships, suggesting that a wife must revere and fear her husband unconditionally. It ignores the importance of mutual respect, trust, and healthy communication, instead promoting an outdated and harmful dynamic where fear is treated as a cornerstone of marriage. Comments like this can reinforce toxic power imbalances and discourage women from expecting or demanding emotional safety in their homes.
