When a husband is rude, abusive and bad tempered:
the wife is told to have sabr and reminded what a good muslim wife does
But when a wife is rude and bad tempered: the husband is told to find a more pious wife, she is told women don& #39;t act this way and her character slandered.
Why don& #39;t anyone give this advise instead?

It is reported that a man came to & #39;Umar ibn Al-Khattab (radhiAllahu anhu) to complain about his wife& #39;s ill-temper
While he was waiting for & #39;Umar to come out of his house, he heard & #39;Umar& #39;s wife scolding him and & #39;Umar quietly listening
to her, and not answering her back.
The man turned around and started walking away, muttering to himself: "If that is the case with& #39;Umar, the leader of the believers, who is famous for his uprighteness and toughness, then what about poor me?!"
At that moment, & #39;Umar came out of
his house and saw the man walking away. He called him and said, "What is it you want of me, O man?"
The man replied: "O leader of the believers, I came to complain to you about my wife& #39;s bad-temper and how she nags me. Then I heard your wife doing the same to you, so I turned
around, muttering to myself, & #39;If that is the situation of the leader of the believers, then what about me?& #39;" & #39;

Umar replied, "O my brother, I bear with her because of her rights over me. She cooks my food, bakes my bread, washes my clothes, breast-feeds my child...and yet none
of these are her duty; and then she is a comfort to my heart and keeps me away from forbidden deeds. Consequently, I bear with her."
The man said, "It is the same with me, O leader of the believers."
& #39;Umar said: "Then, O my brother, be patient with her, indeed this life is short

You cannot live perfectly happy married lives. This is not Jannah, that& #39;s the reason why you got together to achieve it. You& #39;ll argue, you& #39;ll disagree. You& #39;ll dispute, bicker and squabble. But in the end that& #39;s the point of it. You learn to
live and you learn to tolerate.
You are marrying a human being! Humans make mistakes, so you and your spouse will both make mistakes. Get ready for that, and be ready to forgive, let things go and help.
