an unloved woman who marries, and a maidservant who supplants her mistress.
Better to live in the desert than with a contentious and ill-tempered wife.
A constant dripping on a rainy day and a contentious woman are alike—
Better to live on a corner of the roof than to share a house with a quarrelsome wife.
A servant pampered from his youth will bring grief in the end.
A foolish son is his father’s ruin, and a quarrelsome wife is like a constant dripping.
