Why my Husband Married a Bitch



The past few days have been crazy. My ex-sister in-law shared information with me that my husband’s family wonder why my husband married me in the first place. I laughed. Without batting an eyelash, I smiled “because I am a bitch. Maldita!

Why Men Marry Bitches: A Woman\'s Guide to Winning Her Man\'s HeartThey say that it starts in courtship. In the book, “Why Men Marry Bitches“, Ms. Argov says it is true “men love to chase women” and we must let them do that. I’ve never read the book but I have my own definition of being a “bitch”. Oh how I remember how I played hard to get just so Butch would suffer. I even had another suitor just to show him that he’s not the only guy in this world. At that time, Butch had a girlfriend but dumped her when he started courting me. (I later found out it was the girl who pursued him). After three months of wooing me, we became steadies for 7 years before tying the knot. Even though he was still at Law School, I told him this: “if we don’t intend to marry on our 7th year, I’m moving to the States with my sister.

We married on our 7th year.

My definition of “bitch” is not one who is nagger, or a war-freak wife. I am neither demanding or mean. The book describes the “bitch” as ” a strong woman who has her own identity and is secure with who she is.” I don’t know how the other bitches in the world work. I define myself as a passionate, loving , loyal wife who will fight for her man , her family and her marriage . When threat prevails, the bitch in me will find ways to curtail it. Lately I established family relationship boundaries and that’s when havoc occurs. My methods may come out offensive or abrasive in a world where one is not used to confrontation or honest exchange of communication.

Whenever my sisters and their spouses are in town for a reunion, we tease our husbands that they can now commence their support group. I don’t know if my husband is traumatized whenever I am in my “bitch mode”.

So why did my husband marry a “bitch”?

I have no idea so I send an instant message right now . His reply:

Yes, that’s life. He can’t explain it.

I head that Bitch actually stands for:
Babe In Total Control of Herself.

In that case my husband married a bitch too!

@lemon: hehe a lot of women share our affinity but just don’t have the avenue to express it. Not being disrespectful or anything to the concerned people, I find that blogging about it shows I am not alone.

I hate to burst this communal bubble you women place on a pedestal. The only type of guys that allow “bitches” to push them around and dictate everything they do, are the guys that need guidance in life AKA pushovers with no ambition.

The other type of guy is the go-getter, the guy that will be successful, financially and professionally, and he will not take this sort of treatment from a woman. After all, he can typically get a woman many years younger than the bitch who is pushing him around.

So ladies, what kind of man do you want? A pushover or a go-getter? Based on the answer to that question, plan your interaction carefully.
