There's a similar expression in Ukrainian, or do Ukrainians commonly use 'henpecked' in English? I guess I've seen it used ironically, as in "oh haha you are spending time with your wife on your anniversary, how henpecked, have fun", but it seems pretty rude to joke that way about a sick partner.

Yes, it is similar expression, but it has more wide meaning in spoken language. To which I am refering to.

And I was called by that as well, even thought I am gay man with gay partner. And I am still called henpecked for supporting women I know and for not being "manly enough".
