GSW: That was not the context though. We must imagine things in their natural courses. Not like a stage play. Husband and wife wakes up daily, husband makes breakfast while the wife is asleep. He does this naturally and out of love. He wants his wife to rest. Then they got a visitor. The husband then didn’t go make the food. He told the wife to go make it. That is the husband protecting his wife and not allowing her to become the topic of discussion among his friends and family members. If his mother comes to visit, it will be wise of him not to go cook or wash plates etc. Especially if his mother or parents are very conservative in their thinking and level of exposure.

That was what the example stated. A husband does things himself but when his friends are around he does not. He asks his wife to do them. That was the case presented.

I wanted you to see that it is a real life issue being discussed, it has its own context and settings. That we read it here might lead us to jump to the wrong conclusions like The husband trying to demean his wife or use her to make a point. I know @~Bisi Qalalia Diete-Spiff’s husband personally and he is a perfect gentleman. A royal man from royal stock. A man of timber and caliber. That context was not added in
her assertion. He doesn’t have to do anything if he does not want to. The fact that he does, makes him a very homely and humble man. Being a prince however demands that some things cannot be done by him in the presence of his friends especially when his wife is around. There must be an order to things. Perception is everything.
