Completely agree that it is not the same for all married men blessed2006, but I find the answers so far intriguing. Some form of independence on the part of the husband (where say he does not seek permission to drink, smoke or say buy a new car or a motorbike) is seen as a failure on part of the marriage or the inability to live cohesively.

Theres a difference between independence and just forcing it on your spouse. Plus the examples you listed, if done, really are a big deal that if done are somewhat of a failure on the person.
