@[dengeist:52426] this interpretation is incorrect. As with many songs of its era, and MOST marriages, he is talking about the nature of women to control their man to the point of unhappiness in themselves and their existence. Most wives emasculate their husbands through always making them wrong, blame, shaming, withholding wife duties to their husbands. It's a sad place to be. The husband over years feeling tricked and trapped. She's not who he was in the beginning. Stuck between two evils, leaving her and the pain that comes with starting over, or staying and continuing to remain miserable through the gaslighting and emotional abuse the nearly all good men experience in their marriage after some time. He's listened to her tuition and made it cone to fruition...meaning he's done everything he can do and everything she says (her wants and desires). Doing all of that he was wrapped around her finger. The first two verses depict him being unhappy staring at the band of gold she tricked him into getting in the beginning. The last verse is him choosing to leave and only in that moment will she become wrapped around his finger. This is a well known and unfortunately widespread position that many many good men find themselves in marriage after many years. There's a great YT channel that can give you guidance if you're a man and feel trapped and unhappy with a woman that has emasculated you to the point of weakness and thinking you're crazy. You're not the source of your wife's unhappiness. There is hope if she is willing to change. If not, you may need to follow the third lyric verse of this song. |
