Hey all. As recent events have demonstrated I think it's high time we need a place to consolidate all the different conversations we're having about wives here in BYOB, so this is my humble attempt to provide your one stop thread for all your wife needs. What this thread is for Do you have a wife? Are you a wife? Or just thinking about becoming one? Were you a wife but you aren't any longer? This is the thread for you! Feel free to swap wifing tips and tricks, like, how to get the most Pinterest followers, how to end a Pinterest feud, Netflix vs. Hulu and of course the age old question "How Do I Husband"? Whether you're new to being a wife, or you're an old pro, feel free to chime in. Please keep disagreements civil or, as we like to say here in BYOB, "Take It To Pinterest, Ladies!" If you're a husband, your perspective on wives can be valuable, but, please remember that this is a wife-centered space. Keep your comments tightly focused. What this thread is not for Posting pictures of wifes whether sexy or gross, talking about how you wish you had a wife, asking for advice on how to get a wife [polygamy exception: if you are ALREADY a wife you may ask for advice on how to get more], etc. If you're interested in that, please see our FYAD sister thread. The Wife Majestic. Most of all, stay positive Here in the Wife thread we're all about that Wife Life! Sure, it has its challenges. But at the end of the day, there's nothing we'd rather be. Thanks, and have fun.

FAQ What is a wife? A wife is a girl, or lady, who is married. (in this thread for obvious reasons, we're going to stick to talking about married ladies, but in the interests of accuracy, the full definition). Is there a right way to wife? There is no right way to wife. That said, there are a number of tried-and-true Wife-Styles. Most Wifes do "hybrid wifing" involving different aspects of a number of styles. There are a smaller number of "Pure Wives" out there, but the growing trend in Wifing is Freestyle Wifing. Whether you go mainstream in your wifing, stick with tradition, or forge your own path, there's never been a more exciting time to be a wife. What if I can't wife anymore? Don't panic! Being a wife isn't for everybody. Some women need to take a temporary break, whereas others are starting to discover that being a wife is just not right for them. That's okay. Here in the Wife Megathread, we support you wherever you are in your Wife Journey. Some of the regulars will undoubtedly have valuable resources for you to consider as you decide the age old question: To Wife, or Not To Wife. This FAQ is a work in progress. Feel free to suggest questions and/or write answers. Thanks. The management. dogcrash truther fucked around with this message at 17:13 on Aug 28, 2015 |

Bo-Pepper posted:i have a wife she enjoys knitting and not cooking I've noticed that modern wives are more likely to knit than to cook. Nowadays, men do the cooking. Used to be wife = cook, but now wife = etsy knitting side-business. I'm not even a husband so I guess I don't know very much about it, but I'd love for some wives to talk about whether they think this shift is occurring and if so, why. |

I have met a lot of wifes and they are knitting a lot and also teaching knitting to other girls. |

modern women often rebel against cooking because they were raised with the trope that women must cook so gently caress that while men simply can cook if they like so they do |

wife hack: if you cook a meal and your husband doesn't care for it, remember that meal. anytime you feel like going to a restaurant say "God I'm craving [that meal you hate]" or "huh it looks like we only have ingredients for [that meal you hate]" but then you say "oh or I suppose we could grab some Chinese food" and you don't have to make dinner that night

I am very talented at video games and clearly turbo smart. Why don't I have a wife? I can't imagine any sort of flaw possibly overtaking these impressive qualities.

wife tip: if you are very busy with work and make a casserole three nights in a row and your husband jokingly says "casserole again?" you can throw the casserole on the floor and stomp on it with your feet until it is completely inedible and then say "YOURE ABSOLUTELY RIGHT HONEY, gently caress CASSEROLE, WHAT THE HELL WAS I EVEN THINKING" and then collapse on the floor in a pile of tears and hormones and then you get to order pizza

*squints off into the distance on a rocky cliff* i'm married to the sea... that shipwreck over yonder, that's where we got married. a squid married us, my wife threw some seaweed on shore and now the beach will be next to get married. she's still as beautiful as the day we met.
