Okay first and foremost it’s not only women who talk badly about their men even men do talk badly about their women. Women may be gossipers yes but men are just as bad in fact worse. Okay when you find a woman talking badly about her man she’s usually at a point of no return. We all know that women are caring beings and that they like peace and bring people together in harmony.But if you disrespect a woman and show her that she’s not worth your time you are giving her more reason to go out there and say bad things about you. Now if we talk about the men, if a man has a side dish (mistress) he will do anything or say anything to make her happy and make her feel like shes loved right? And this will include telling his girlfriend how the wife is a bad cook, she doesnt know how to dress and stuff like all in the name of trying to make a woman feel special now if that is not bad mouthing i dont know what it is. In most cases what men say is always lies but what women say always tirns out to be true.

@anitah, i agree with your argument but you have seen it from only the angle where the man has a mistress. In a case like this she speaks bad of her to another woman and making a fellow woman more important. But i am speaking generally and i didn’t mean men don’t do this but you will rearly see a man talk bad of the woman he is marriade to and they still live together unless it has gotten to the point of no return like you said. I am an example, many years ago i was involved in a relationship, and i made family and friends see her as the best but after about 3 years i could take forgiving over and over for cheating, so when she went with thesame man i saved her from 3 years before i was devasted and felt used but she came back after 3 months because he dumped her again but i didnt accept her back this time. Family didn’t know why so they were against me, after much pressure i had to say why i can’t take her back and all she did, she was hated immediately. But then i was sure it was the end before i said het fouls. Many men do this but women sits amongst eachother and speak bad for their men, what they don’t do right, how they are not responsible but more about their misunderstanding at home and fights. This bring look down on their marriages. But sure between these women they don’t see these about eachother that same like they see their friends man, so she sees theirs also. But it a calamity when it breaks open especially from a quarrel between 2 friends and they insult eachothers men….. Woooo. There you hear them speak what they have gossiped about their men. This write up is to creat the awareness for women to understand that the other woman sees her, her marriage and her man just as she sees hers also and to stop external discussion of relationship conflicts, better they are settled at home or by a psychologist. Otherwise the relationships can hit the block because of this attitude.

Depending on how superstitious you are, very often not to put a bad eye on someone you say bad things about them. You don’t brag you don’t commend. You tear down. In this way, you protect from the evil eye.
