[quote=Turnbull]In the Mafia, a "good" husband is one who has only one or two goumads, and doesn't either beat his wife or infect her with STD's. By that measure, Sonny was a "good" husband. Carlo was an adulterer, a wife beater and a traitor. Also (according to the novel) a poor earner--the major Mafia offense.

Thanks for the info, Turnbull. I never realized that. I tried to consider the time period that the movie/novel takes place in, but I guess it's hard for me not to take into consideration what kind of man would be considered a good husband by today's standards. Carlo definitely wouldn't fit the bill, and I don't think Sonny would have either.
