the rule, loving is an exception. And in every way they try to dominate -- even through love they try to dominate. If the husband asks the wife, the wife denies -- she is reluctant. She is very miserly: she gives, but very reluctantly; she wants you to wave your tail around her. And so is the case with the husband. When the wife is in need and asks him, the husband says that he is tired. In the office there was too much work, 'really overworked', and he would like to go to sleep.
I have read one letter written by Mulla Nasruddin to his wife. Listen to it.
To my dear, ever-loving wife,
During the past year I have tried to make love to you 365 times, an average of once per day, and the following is a list of the reasons you gave for rejecting me:
Wrong week 11
It will wake the children 7
It is too hot 15
It is too cold 3
Too tired 19
Too late 16
Too early 9
Pretending to sleep 33
The window is open, neighbors might hear 3
Backache 16
Toothache 2
Headache 6
Not in the mood 31
Baby restless, might cry 18
Watched late show 15
Mud-pack 8
Grease on face 4
Too drunk 7
Forgot to visit chemists 10
Visitors sleeping in the next room 7
Just had hair done 28
'Is that all you think about?' 62
Dearest, do you think we can improve on our record during the forthcoming year?
Your ever-loving husband,
Mulla Nasruddin.
These are ways how to manipulate, how to starve, the other, how to make him more and more hungry so that he becomes more and more
