Strange when men complain that their wives are not romantic everyone jumps on the wife’s case. And no one cares if she says but I take extra care if your family all day and don’t answer back to your mom. People will say no, that’s separate , you should make an effort which doesn’t even involve much.

Not true. If a guy was fixating on the fact that his wife isn’t romantic to the point of imagining leaving her over it, I would find it equally juvenile. While I agree that it is not wrong to want a little romantic gesture every now and then, fantasising about leaving your husband because he is not “hollywood” romantic is a bit much and, in my opinion, a bit immature.

Yet, during the engagement period, all men show their “movie” side meaning that they are well capable of being romantic. They say they will be like this forever and women believe them.

Rather like women who pretend to be perfect domestic goddesses during the engagement period only to whinge about being too tired and overworked to even get the guy a glass of water the minute the guy puts a ring on it?
