To all the wives in thr group

There's a stereotype of wives being angry/upset with their husbands. Either jokingly or in all seriousness.
I too am currently in a silent war with the husband even though we are generally a very happy couple.
Why do we women do this? I'm trying ro understand the psychology behind this behaviour.

Could be an innate reaction to disrespect from the one person who should take care of us instead of bring us emotional pain. Maybe it’s such a jolt to our system that we shut down in an attempt to reset future expectations from that person. Or maybe we go into self preservation mode instantly so we feel the need to swallow everything we want to say because we know heated words can bring regret later on.
