good question.........I bet it was a man
Re: The Good Wife's Guide
LOL I have seen that before.
Man I would have been a spinster back then there is no way I would have met the definition of a good wife.
Re: The Good Wife's Guide
That kind of freaked me out in a "Stepford Wives" kind of way...if you get my drift...
Re: The Good Wife's Guide
Does it make me a really awful person if that sounds like heaven on Earth to me? Ahh, the life of royalty.
Re: The Good Wife's Guide
hey sounds good to me too. I want a wife of that description.
Re: The Good Wife's Guide
Oddly enough I'd totally do all of that. Of course, i'd work and tend to myself but ... yah. I dunno. I figure if you WANT to do it as a gesture of care and love that's one thing,but if you are expected to do it or forced that's an entirely other situation.
Re: The Good Wife's Guide
oh. my. god.
I'll be sure to put a ribbon in my hair and be a little gay and a little more interesting for him
haha :rotfl:

Re: The Good Wife's Guide
^^^CF! Wifey! Get off of SW and come here to Florida and fluff my pillow! And then install a fireplace and light a fire because I need soothing, dammit, SOOTHING! Also get knocked up and bear me a little treasure or three, and keep their faces clean, I can't stand that sticky shit after I've been working all day.
(Haha, I'm the man because I said so, and now I'm more important than you... haha)
Re: The Good Wife's Guide
I'm TOH's wifey?
*zooms to Florida*
I'll take the abuse! :P

Can I get a helllllll yeah... 8)
Re: The Good Wife's Guide
I've seen that before.
I would have been a spinster. Hands down. The only person I'm being "gay" for is my fucking self, pal. }:D >:(
I can't be bothered being "taken care" of like that all the f'in time. Gimme my space! Leave me the fuck alone! I'm happy with cold food in the fridge!
Re: The Good Wife's Guide
Re: The Good Wife's Guide
I heard of this for the first time in a book called "Pink Think." It was a good book, and very eye opening.
Re: The Good Wife's Guide
Oh, and it surprises me that the article may be fake. I've seen it cited in two seemingly legitamite sources. I do understand that it could be though.
Re: The Good Wife's Guide
I've seen 50's books in RL that spoke of very similar stuff, so while this particular one may/may not be fake, it's pretty much dead-on as to what books and magazines did tell women.
Re: The Good Wife's Guide
I have an old cookbook from the 50's and it has a forward about how to be a good wife...it gives a lot of these same tips. I think many of this was stardard wifely advice then.
I would NEVER have gotten married. Ever. Thats not marriage IMO.,.thats indentured servitude.
"Don't complain if he's late home for dinner or even if he stays out all night. Count this as minor compared to what he might have gone through that day."
"Don't ask him questions about his actions or question his judgment or intergrity. Remember, he is the master of the house and as such will always exercise his will with fairness and truthfulness. You have no right to question him.
A good wife always knows her place."
HA...yeah right!!!
I know my place DAMN well...its on the couch with a glass of wine!

p.s. yea, there is some truth though to the attitude that is satirically presented in the article.
