A lady who published a comprehensive list of activities that men “should never see their wives do” has provoked online uproar.
Relationships are an ancient and amusing phenomenon. Is it just me, but what normally begins as two individuals attempting to impress each other by being really courteous and well-groomed usually ends up with them pooping with the door open and never sharing food?
Although every relationship is unique and everyone expresses affection in different ways, how at ease are we with sharing aspects of ourselves that we typically keep hidden?
A lengthy list of things that one lady on X (previously Twitter) feels men should never witness their spouses doing has gone viral on the social media site.
According to Ingri Pauline, a Las Vegas strength and conditioning expert and nutrition coach, women should “act like a lady” if they wish to “be treated like one” on social media.
What, then, is on her list of things she thinks women should not discuss? It involves: “poop, pop zits, pluck any hair on your face beside an eyebrow, do a face mask, wax your bikini line, and see you in an outfit you would be embarrassed to be seen in by anyone else.”
All of those reasons are obviously controversial, but personally, I think that one is debatable because I enjoy wearing a facemask with my partner.
Pauline went on to say: “It pays to maintain some mystery and act like a lady around your husband because he will undoubtedly see you at your worst [anyway].”
“My spouse is aware that when I [go] to the restroom, I emerge feeling and looking better. That’s all. That’s how I like it to be as much as possible.
“Throughout your marriage, you will undoubtedly give him your all as well. The insurance policies against boredom and being treated like a roommate are mystery and manners.
Although it should be considered that everyone treats their partners with respect regardless, she makes a valid point about being kind to them.
Given the volume of comments, it’s safe to assume that some people were unhappy with the list.
Someone commented: “Some of us are adults and don’t need to hide basic bodily functions or beauty routine from our partners.”
Another person added: “My husband physically had to hold my hand as I pooped after I was released from the hospital after giving birth to our baby. He saw me give birth to a complete a** kid. Since it’s physically impossible, I believe he can tolerate seeing me in “unladylike” conditions.”
However, some users concurred with the nutrition coach, as one person wrote: “Yes. Even after marriage, a sense of mystery should be maintained. He shouldn’t watch you doing all of this, just as there are some things I wouldn’t want to witness him doing.”
