To be proud of being and wife and to want to be acknowledged as such?

[WriterofDreams]

I've read quite a few posts on MN from people who are annoyed, and quite rightly so, at being called "Mrs" when they're actually a Ms or Dr or some other title. I've actually found I have the opposite problem, where companies send me correspondence with the title "Ms" even though I put Mrs on any forms or letters I send. It also quite annoys me when I introduce my DH as my husband and people persist in calling him my partner. I chose to get married and being a wife is an important part of my identity that I would like to have acknowledged. I like being "Mrs DH's name" although I do draw the line at being called "Mrs Dh's first name Dh's second name," as I haven't actually changed my first name at all.

AIBU to expect companies and professionals to use the title I've actually selected rather than the PC catch-all one?

I just had a peek at your dress, LeQueen... very pretty. How did you manage to walk about in it without sweeping everything up behind you as you walked?

The hotel castle looks dead expensive- how much did that rickety old desk cost? Ahh dont tell me, its an antique!!!

I liked your dress too....mine, in the loft, is much nicer...made in China which is where I bought it, possibly made by sweaty children.

[hhm] should have had a and for comic effect, instead of mildly bitchy.

I am giving iCod a run for her money with my typos.

Well my dcs think women don't pass wind.....which is a bit rubbish for dd, she may well grow up all weird like me.

I'd put a photo of my wedding day up but they were taken pre-digital age ( I am an oppressed relic wife) and I committed the MN cardinal sin and had strapless. Though I really felt beautiful (I normally hate my appearance, possibly why I married DH, crushingly low self-esteem )and everyone who ate and drank at our expense on the day told me I was, so who am I to quibble?

Only a sin if your arms are the size of small children.

Well, they are now bingowingtastic, then they looked good.

LeQueen... Aha, that would do it. Laughing at the vision of a mass of small children being bowled along.

PosieParker... Your DD needs to make sure that she has a dog, you can always blame a dog for farts, they never mind. I have two dogs... perfect!

I want a pug, but they are at least £800 so I may have to just admit that horrid things do come out of my bottom....even poo. My poor poor mentally scarred dcs!!

This is LeQueen's real identity

Oh Lequeen, we accessorised with a Scolds Bridle, setting the tone of our marriage thus far.

Tis the secret to a long and happy union. I know my place and I know not to question

Ok so now that we have lost the point of the thread, is gemsy really being quite nasty(even for my mere five minutes of mumsnetting kind of get and find LeQ rather amusing) .......curtseyemoticon......or is it all a ruse to make us think they are bitter enemies when in fact the are best of friends?

gemsy?

LeQueen, you on this thread is the first time I have laughed along with you.

I am now a LeQueen convert,,,

Haven't read the whole thread here but feel that the OP is getting a hard time here.

She likes being married, is proud to be so and wants to be called Mrs. What's the harm? She's not killed anyone, or insulted anyone FGS.

Lots of you on here need to chill out me thinks.
