Re: Hung by the tongue
If speaking of marriages, I think most women can tolerate alot more than their husbands and can definitely hold back their tongue. They have to do it to maintain the peace in their marriage especially if there are kids around. I have definitely seen more husbands being snappy and saying things without thinking while the wives stay quiet. In desi culture, it's mostly because they have too much respect for their husbands to say anything back.
