As per unofficial data, there are more numbers of widows than widowers across the world.This phenomenon is due to over expectations from both sides. After the marriage, the man is "tuned" into the status of a zombie. Suppose if he contradicted her "orders" THAT'S ALL. He would feel as if he is incarcerated inside a dungeon. His power of free thinking would be deprived. Though in the society , his rating would have gone up but, in reality, he must be cursing his fate. As a result, his metabolism would cripple. Thereby he is susceptible to lifestyle diseases. His travel to grave would be expedited.
There are many widows who die within a year of bereavment. Such cases are rarest of the rare. Predominantly, (not generalising) other partner simply eyeing on property left by her departed husband (and vice versa). These days relationships are built based on expectations and desires. Hence, none bother bother about it.
The woman would try to "tame" him to toe her line. If resisted, she would intensified her onslaught . Basicaly, menfolk are chicken hearted they would not be in a position to surmount the attack .
In my earler blog, I had said about the womenfolk trying to "domesticate" the menfolk probably her "taming" tactics are misunderstood as "oppression" by the idiotic menfolk. WOMENFOLK don't worry carry on with your mission until you finish off the menfolk from this earth.
