This has caused a lot of women heartbroken and even depressed. Therefore, how to know a very difficult husband is highly recommended. Moreover, when you know how to handle such a man the better.

Here are some common signs that your husband may be difficult to deal with:

1. He is Always Defensive

• If he reacts angrily or refuses to accept feedback, even when you express your feelings calmly. He’s a very tough person. Moreso, even some men will be angry for nothing just to create a toxic environment or bad mood for their wives. You can never understand such a man nor know when he’s happy or not.
• He turns every conversation into an argument instead of listening. A difficult husband will never listen because he thinks he’s always right. He picks fights over every little issue.

2. He Lacks Emotional Support

• He dismisses your emotions or calls you “too sensitive” when you express your concerns. He isn’t concerned whether you’re happy or not, in fact, he always wants you to be sad because of his tough nature.
• He rarely comforts or reassures you when you are upset. He feels you are on your own when you’re angry because he’s less concerned. He does this because he has hardened his heart, he has a stone heart, and no human feeling at all.

3. He is Controlling

• He wants to make all the decisions without considering your opinion. At the same time, he doesn’t care whether you feel bad or not. He feels that your opinion doesn’t count.
• He dictates what you wear, who you talk to, and how you spend your time. He’s particularly ruling your life. A tough man will be asking you some funny questions that you can never imagine. He will make you lose your family and good friends because everyone around you will hate his behavior and leave you alone. Even all the people that can help you will run away from you.

4. He Avoids Responsibility

• He blames you or others for everything that goes wrong instead of taking accountability. When anything doesn’t go his way, he blames you for it, he doesn’t see himself as a problem. A tough spouse will never accept his fault.
• He doesn’t contribute equally to household duties or parenting. A tough spouse is always selfish because he does only what he wants and when he feels like doing it. The children will always negatively feel their father because they’re not free to talk to him. They see him as an absentee father even when he’s around, he’s not accessible or reachable to them in the house.

5. He is Highly Critical

• He constantly points out your flaws but never acknowledges your efforts. He never appreciates what you do but can easily and only see your mistakes. That’s the characteristic of a tough partner.
• He makes you feel like you’re never good enough and have low self-esteem.

6. He Uses Silent Treatment or Withholds Affection

• Instead of discussing issues, he shuts down or refuses to talk for days. Leaving you with your emotions and being moody in the house.
• He withholds intimacy, affection, or attention as a way to punish you.

7. He is Stubborn and Unwilling to Compromise

• He refuses to see things from your perspective or meet you halfway. Moreover, he controls everything and behaves unreasonably.
• Every disagreement ends in him getting his way.

8. He is Distant or Emotionally Unavailable

• He doesn’t share his thoughts or feelings with you. He does what he wants and keeps to himself. He feels he doesn’t owe you any explanation.
• He prioritizes work, hobbies, or friends over spending time with you. Many difficult men prefer to spend time with friends than his own family, especially his wife.

9. He Disrespects You

• He talks down to you, calls you names, or belittles your opinions. They shouted on their wives even in the public as if they’re slaves and treat them like trash. They always feels superior and makes their wives feel inferior to them.
• He embarrasses you in front of others or makes jokes at your expense.

10. He Refuses to Work on the Relationship

• He dismisses therapy, counseling, or any effort to improve things. Anything that will make the relationship with their spouses better, they don’t want to hear it at all.
• He expects you to adjust but isn’t willing to change himself. He never admit is wrong. Tough partner makes relationship feel like hell on earth for their wives. This is because, instead of enjoying, its always enduring.
