Frustrated macho husband with a big ego
The Husband Chair by Nick Bannister
This is a poem about men who have communication issues in their relationship. They would rather curse their partner than talk about the issues.
The description talks about a “loving” husband wanting to fulfill his wife's shopping needs instead of resting. A loving husband won't have bad thoughts about his wife making fun of her in his head and gawking at other women.
If men are worried about their money, then be clear before getting into the relationship that you want a working woman and equality in the relationship. But at that time they take it as a challenge to win a woman with gifts and expensive dates. Why can't finances be discussed with partners to let them know how much they can budget for a shopping trip?
Instead of writing an angry poem, it would be better to learn to communicate and be open with your partner.

4.5 stars. Funny quick read about husband wanting to sit and relax in his husband chair while his wife has very different plans.
It is written in rhyme so it is fast read.
A good book for coffee break.

I won this book in a Goodreads giveaway.
“The Husband Chair” is marketed as a humorous book, but it’s far from it. The main character is whiny, misogynistic, and acts like shopping with his wife is torture. It’s 2024, and I’m not sure why the loathing husband trope is still funny to people. I felt bad for the wife the entire story.

A hilarious short, poetry-like read about a husband and wife. It has drawings for each page. Overall, I enjoyed it and it made me smile.

quick humorous poem
Do husbands really still do this? Take their wives shopping? Just a cute poem with cute illustrations. Nothing memorable. A strong three stars

The Husband Chair
The Husband Chair reads like a Dr. Seuss book for adults. I don't enjoy clothes shopping, so I understand the pain.
