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.
Oh, smacked in the noggin with a 2x4 wrapped in velvet. Yeah, that's what it felt like.

[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.

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.

I can never read a Wimsey book without wanting a Bunter of my very own.

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.

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. "

I want a Bunter. Or some mysterious force that will cook, clean and run errands without wanting anything from me.

Sure I went over to the Dark Side, but just to pick up a few things.
Well, shoot. I'm gonna go have to do some more math.
Serves you right.
To some people that will never be a punishment.
