Is being a trophy wife really so bad? I suppose it depends on what your definition of a trophy wife is.
To some, the term “trophy wife” connotes an enviable achievement, while to others it's an idiomatic synonym for “idiot.” The contradictory connotations that riddle the following definition probably please both sides: Trophy wife: The (rarely first) wife of an affluent (often older) man who is (often younger and) exceptionally (more) attractive (than he is). Prevailing synonyms include: gold digger, socialite, shopaholic, secret envy of countless women, and object of feminist scorn.However interpreted, the customary concept of marriage based strictly on romantic love is both young and narrow. Historically, people have gotten married for a wide variety of reasons -- social, economical, political, professional -- so the trophy wife has plenty of precedence.

I made a deal with my boyfriend that if he could support the two of us I would stay home. His reward would be me at the door, when he comes home, in lingerie and heels with a drink in one hand and dinner on the table. What would be so bad about that? I would have more time, less stress and no boss to answer to. I could do all of those things I never have time for and have always wanted to do. But would I be bored? Are housewives bored? The sure look like they are having a good time on Desperate Housewives.
Hmm... something to think about.
