Bruce wants to be a loving husband but at the same time wants to express his disgust for some of his wife's habits.According to Freud,Bruce's ________ might enable him to partially satisfy both desires.

A) collective unconscious
B) superego
C) Oedipus complex
D) ego

According to Freud's structural theory of personality, the ego is the part of the psyche that balances the conflicting demands of the id (which seeks immediate gratification of instincts) and the superego (which represents societal and moral norms). In this case, Bruce's ego would likely allow him to express his disgust for his wife's habits in a way that does not completely reject her, thus partially satisfying both his desire to be loving and his desire to express his displeasure.
