"Now, if your attitude toward your wife fits a good portion of the above-mentioned description,..."

Well, what lecture can you give me if my attitude toward my wife doesn't fit hardly any portion of the above-mentioned description.

It doesn't.

No country club membership. No fancy cars. We either save our money or use it to pay for the best private school in our city for our kid. No fancy clothes. Hardly ever cooks. She's on new diets every month so I have trouble keeping up with what she can eat today. I own a one-man business, so there are no co-workers to joke around with. Our best friends are from our Sunday school class at church, and I sure don't joke about my wife to them.

Really, for people who hate others judging them, I sure have been described pretty thoroughly, in pretty bad terms the last few days, and by people who don't know a darn thing to base their opinions on, other than their prejudices.

Since her pregnancy was handled through a high-risk pregnancy specialist due to her relative age and long time diabetes which is treated with an insulin pump, I did more than sympathize with her morning sickness. She was bed-ridden for the last seven weeks, and spent much time crying as she was afraid her sometimes out-of-control sugar levels were injuring our kid. Anyway, with a wonderful specialist, a helpful mother-in-law, and I'd like to think a helpful husband we got through it and the kid is fine.

My wife has been for many years and remains in fragile health. Luckily Texas has a "high risk insurance pool" for people who can't get insurance like my wife, or we would have been bankrupted by the trips to the emergency room that are pretty regular.

Anyway, that's the high flying life that my trophy wife and I lead.
