Rather, it's a possessive behavior that is very common among Singaporean men after they've "snagged" a chiobu whom they think is a chattel. If it is an AMDK, there is a bit more tolerance if he taps his property's shoulders. But if it is a fellow Sinkie, worse if he's from a certain country which must not be mentioned, then the owner of the chattel will take high umbrage lorh.
Both possessiveness and insecurity will strain and inhibit any growth in a relationship. Possessiveness is focused on controlling and asserting ownership over the wife, while insecurity is due to self-doubt and a fear of inadequacy. A possessive hubby has both traits which is unhealthy.
