Line 81:
* Peter Jerzyk from Stephen King's ''[[Needful Things]]''.
* Arthur Weasley in the ''[[Harry Potter (novel)|Harry Potter]]'' series.
** Subverted first by the fact that they are [[Happily Married]], and then in ''[[Harry Potter/Harry Potter and Thethe Deathly Hallows|Deathly Hallows]]'', when it's revealed that Molly is a [[Crouching Moron, Hidden Badass]]. In retrospect, it seems more likely that Arthur knows ''exactly'' what she's capable of, and doesn't want to be on the receiving end of it.
* Jerome Squalor from ''[[A Series of Unfortunate Events]]''. If the guy says anything that his (ex)wife [[Rich Bitch|Esme]] doesn't like, he gets shot down faster than an enemy plane.
* Inverted in [[Agatha Christie]]'s ''The Hollow'', in which the rooster-pecked wife is utterly devoted to her husband, and is treated with the same mix of pity and contempt that the Henpecked Husband typically is.
