A MAN is under the impression it is cool to pretend his husband is the boss of him.
Kevin, not his real name, frequently says things like “I’ll have to check with my manager” and “I’ll see if I’m allowed” even though his husband does not really care what he gets up to.
Kevin, 53, said: “I’ve been given permission to go for a drink with my mate Martin, not his real name, on Friday. Looks like I’m off the leash!”
However Kevin’s’ husband Kah Heng, not his real name, said: “I’ve overheard Kev saying he needs to ask me before going out for a drink. No, he doesn’t. He’s a grown man and after 20 years I still have no idea where he gets this from.”
Friends verified that Kev’s actions make him seem immensely feeble and somehow chauvinistic at the same time. They went on to say that, after asking him, it turned out he had never not been allowed to do things.
Kevin added: “It’s cool to seem like you’re henpecked and in fear of your husband. I’ve seen it on classic American sitcoms so it must be true.”
