Maybe she's doing research on forum attitudes to surrendered wives.

Maybe Matthew Wright or the Daily Mail or something's planning a feature.

Oh god not you again, i read your thread on netmums and you sound like your trying to sell something.

BlameItOnTheCuervForHumanBlood · 19/10/2012 13:33

Its a troll, its so obvious. Inflammatory "first" post, feigned innocence, bad grammar and goadiness.

ginhag · 19/10/2012 13:33

Can you get surrendered children? I might swap mine.

ginhag · 19/10/2012 13:34

Oh soz hunz, forgot these ---> xxxxxxx

Surrendered mother in law wanted here !!!

ginhag · 19/10/2012 13:35

I have surrendered. To c beebies and biscuits and gin

Woozley · 19/10/2012 13:35

Woozley, did you get as far as 'Trust their husbands in every aspect of marriage - from sexual to financial'?

I think that's ok...unless and until you have a reason to not do so. DH trusts me in those aspects, I hope anyway...

ginhag · 19/10/2012 13:38

Woozley the point is she trusts him to make all the decisions. without her input.

Am fairly sure you wouldn't call that compromise.

ginhag · 19/10/2012 13:39

I've decided not to worry my pretty little head about any of it. Grin

Woozley · 19/10/2012 13:46

I see - I think DH would have a meltdown if I left him to make all the decisions. :)

BlameItOnTheCuervForHumanBlood · 19/10/2012 13:47

I have surrendered to vintage Dallas and eating mince pies.

I may write a book about it...

Lancelottie · 19/10/2012 14:36

I think I may be suffering from terminal over-interpretation today, as I took 'Trust...' to mean 'hand over all decisions' too., rather than 'Assume they aren't cheating'.

Mind you, I'd happily hand over current School Decision to DH, who is surrendering it like mad to me at the moment.

SpringHeeledJack · 19/10/2012 14:47

clue's in the name. Mandy. MANdy. It's a hairy menz trying to convert us all

SpringHeeledJack · 19/10/2012 14:49

haven't read thread, but has anyone mentioned the SW who was on the telly ages back?

iirc she blew her hubby every night when he got in from work. Son outside locked bedroom door gloomily watching Paddington

Ahem...I was just looking around Amazon for books on 'Surrendered Wife' and came across Wife [Paperback] edited by Anastasia Jere.

This is the dust jacket description whch actually sounds quite healthy and positive.

"Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. The Surrendered Wives movement is inspired by a book, The Surrendered Wife by Laura Doyle. Its supporters suggest that women should relinquish what Doyle deems to be inappropriate control of their husbands and focus on their own happiness in order to bring romance back to their relationship. The author of the core book of this movement maintains that she does not advocate submissiveness or the surrendering of one's self; she proposes the surrendering of control over others.

BlameItOnTheCuervForHumanBlood · 19/10/2012 16:00

No, its surrendering control to the dh. Control of the finances. Sexual control. Decisions like where to go on holiday, big purchases. As well as putting too much pressure on the dh "oh no, I couldn't possibly decide on a new car, I'm just an ickle laydeee" its demeaning for the woman and an unhealthy relationship to expose your dc to, imo. I also do not see dh as my superior in anyway. He is no more capable of making decisions than me, he is not the head of the house, we both run it.

ScarahStratton · 19/10/2012 19:19

Bjtches.

You all forgot 'bjtches.

:(

Woozley · 19/10/2012 20:27

Control of the finances. Sexual control. Decisions like where to go on holiday, big purchases. As well as putting too much pressure on the dh "oh no, I couldn't possibly decide on a new car, I'm just an ickle laydeee"

I'd love to see DH's face if I said to him "Right, you are now in charge of the finances, I will have no say whatsoever in where we go on holiday, you go ahead and sort everything out, oh yeah and we need a new washing machine, can you go ahead and do all the research and sort out buying one." That would go down like a ton of bricks.

BlameItOnTheCuervForHumanBlood · 19/10/2012 20:40

Oh yes, I can't imagine any man who isn't a power-mad abusive cunt liking having a SW. The idea might be nice in a jokey way, but the reality must be a huge turn off and exhausting.

HappyHalloweenMotherFucker · 19/10/2012 22:07

MB, how would you feel if MrsMB decided she wanted to surrender ?

HappyHalloweenMotherFucker · 19/10/2012 22:08

I wonder if surrendered wives wear denim skirts < whistles >

MoreBeta · 19/10/2012 22:59

HappyHalloween - she wouldn't do it and I wouldn't like it.

Nuff said. Grin

HappyHalloweenMotherFucker · 19/10/2012 23:11

surrendering, or the denim

we have to know this Grin

AnEerieAirOfHorror · 19/10/2012 23:42

I dont understand why she got soooo upset, called us horrible names and then left? Its just plain rude. She has no manners ar all. I hope her husband doesn't let her get away with such behaviour at home.

I cant believe a women and a married one at that would swear. What is the world coming to?

Xxxxx
