discounting the fact that I am not and in no way a wife AIBU to think that this label, which is so often bandied around here as an insult, isn't that much of an insult.

We are allowed to judge situations, but not people.

Correct PiperRose. Unless or until HE

sleeps with someone else.

You also cannot have sex until that happens.

So you really do marry for life.

Most religions are misogynistic.

I works the other way round as well Darkestesys. Sorry that I didnt make that clear.

There is no distinction whatsoever.
In a christian marriage, the husband is still bound to the wife until SHE sleeps with someone else as well, or dies.

Everything is equal BOTH ways.

So you're allowed to judge the decisions other people make?

Yes, but not the person.

Hate the sin love the sinner.

But nowadays, the majority of people do not know that they are going against what God says.

Ah I see I was brought up as Catholic (haven't practised for 22 years though) and my experience there was the mans feelings and rights always trumps the womans.

settingsitting you're either incredibly stupid and bigoted or you're a troll. I'm trying to work it out.

Think I will stop posting now then PiperRose.

I was just going to say that too. The thread has turned into something completely different and a fairly lighthearted op has led to a discussion about religion and this is not the place to do it.

Thanks to everyone who took part and there are still memberships available for the cool wives/hot girlfriends club!

"cool wives" is used on here with the same sneering tone as 'the menz"

It's an insult on here, usually levelled by someone who thinks it's big and clever.
