I'm not sure specifically what this story is about without more context. It could potentially be about a situation where a wife has imposed certain behaviors or a role on her husband that made him feel like a'sissy', perhaps in terms of household chores, decision - making, or social interactions. But this is just speculation.
This is clearly unethical. A relationship between a husband and a wife should be built on mutual understanding, trust and respect. Using such offensive language to describe a spouse is unacceptable. It can cause great harm to the relationship and the person being described, and it also sets a bad example for others in terms of relationship values.
I'm not sure specifically as there could be many novels with such a title. Generally, it might be about a character who makes a pact with the devil, perhaps in exchange for power, wealth, or to achieve some impossible goal. This often leads to a series of events where the character has to face the consequences of their deal, like moral dilemmas and unforeseen challenges.
I'm not sure who the author of the 'i made a deal with the devil novel' is. There could be many self - published or relatively unknown authors with a novel by this name.
An example could be that the wife is really into fashion and she starts to dress her husband in more flamboyant or feminine - inspired outfits. She might also make him attend fashion shows or shopping sprees that he's not really interested in. This makes him feel like he's being turned into a'sissy' in the context of his own perception of masculinity.
You could plan a surprise party with all of her closest friends and family. Decorate the place with her favorite colors and have her favorite food and drinks available.
Handling this situation requires a strong stance. Start by having a private conversation with your friend. Let him know that his words are not only disrespectful to your wife but also to you as a couple. You can also set clear boundaries for future interactions. If this is not the first time he has made inappropriate remarks, it might be time to end the friendship.
