my mom described a wife as someone who lives with me and cooks for me.
Yeah, that can also be a mother.
I'm a single undead gal trying to make it in the big city. I have to start somewhere and they're evil here. They don't judge. They've got necro-tempered glass. No burning up. A great medical plan, and who needs dental more than us?

[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risque (and frisque), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

my mom described a wife as someone who lives with me and cooks for me.
I could use one of those. Though, really, I'd prefer they didn't live in.

The status is NOT quo.
my mom described a wife as someone who lives with me and cooks for me
I would just like to say that, by this definition, I have never been married.
(That was supposed to be funny. I killed the thread with my Not!Funny. Damn!)

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine
my mom described a wife as someone who lives with me and cooks for me.
Yeah, that can also be a mother.
Or a live-in personal chef.

By that definition, DH and I take turns being wives. And he's a way better cook, and puts more effort into it. I've been a complete kitchen slacker since Annabel was born. These days my specialties are grilled cheese served alongside soup from a can, spaghetti with a little meat stirred into the jarred sauce to enhance the flavor and nutrition, and caesar salad from a bag with a chicken breast grilled on the Foreman sliced in.

I want a wife. I'll even buy her/him a couch to sleep on. The bed's mine.

I want a live-in personal chef. And a butler.

Mostly lurking...
my mom described a wife as someone who lives with me and cooks for me.
By that definition, I am a wife. And since I am no wife, that definition is flawed.

Calli: My people have a saying. A man who trusts can never be betrayed, only mistaken.Avon: Life expectancy among your people must be extremely short.
Overheard at at academic conference related to the "wife" discussion:
Woman to her male domestic partner: "Honey, as busy as we are what we really need is a wife"
Man: "If you are open to that, I'm open to that. "
