HappyHalloween - phrase "she wouldn't do it and I wouldn't like it' could well be the motto of our long and happy marriage.

Equally applicable to cooking, cleaning, gardening, denim skirts, surrendering.... the list is endless. Grin

of course, and the reverse is true I suspect Smile

Actually it's a cunning plan. By surrendering she never ever has to take responsibility for anything - bit like when we were three two in our Moses baskets.

Hi Mandy,

Are you still a surrendered wife ? If so I would be interested in comparing notes . .

mumhelly · 09/07/2017 17:23

Hi, just found your post on a search. Do you know if there is much of a surrendered wife community in the UK? Any circles/groups? Thanks x

Sparklingbrook · 09/07/2017 17:25

This ZOMBIE thread is 5 years old...

TheCrowFromBelow · 09/07/2017 17:30

Awww Sparkling it's a good one though, especially where Mandy called us all bitches.
Fond memories of this one.

Sparklingbrook · 09/07/2017 17:33

True.

i came back to tell you what a bunch of opinionated dicks you are

How rude.

mumhelly · 09/07/2017 18:14

Thought mumsnet was a way of supporting and advising? Not a place for closed minds! This lady obviously finds the Surrendered Wife principles worth looking into, so why was she berated so much?

Sparklingbrook · 09/07/2017 18:15

Maybe start a new thread? 'This lady' is long gone.

EmpressOfTheSpartacusOceans · 09/07/2017 18:16

Blessed be the fruit, mumhelly. May the Lord open.

Jayfee · 09/07/2017 18:18

well i am going to watch the handmaids tale tonight....this surrendered wife malarkey sounds like its precursor!

Jayfee · 09/07/2017 18:19

yessee empress...it is quite scary that people think like this!

SpongeBobJudgeyPants · 09/07/2017 18:22

Of course your marriage will be better once you have agreed your husband is The Boss and he gets All His Own Way. Aint rocket science Hmm

PickAChew · 09/07/2017 18:23

Well I suppose being a surrendered wife is one way of not taking on all the mental load.

NameChanger22 · 09/07/2017 18:23

Threads like this make me think it's time the institution of marriage is binned completely. Women need to stand up to this oppression.

OP - I feel very sorry for you. I think you need a trip to the doctor, maybe medication can help.

SpongeBobJudgeyPants · 09/07/2017 18:24

Bleddy hell. Been sucked into a Zombie AGAIN!

I can see why a man with little self confidence and knuckles that touch the floor might find something intrinsically attractive in having a wife who doubles up as a doormat rather than an equal partner with opinions and the ability to express rational and logical ideas but frankly Mandy, unless she has been lobotomised and has an IQ smaller than her shoe size I can't see what appeal there is in it for a 21st century, educated, woman.

but then I am a grumpy old woman who remembers what it was like in the not to distant past when women had to have male guarantors for mortgages, equal pay was as rare as unicorn blood, women police officers carried handbag and men thought women who poured their own tonic into their gin were getting above themselves.

If you really want to live in a mysoginist and regressive society can I suggest you ask your husband to turn on the computer for you and Google "moving to Saudi, what can I expect" for you.

viques · 09/07/2017 18:49

Oh.zombification. Let's hope Mandy got out from under , and hightailed it to the bright lights of freedom.

mrsBeverleygoldberg · 09/07/2017 18:55

This is funny. I've had two strong sangrias. Surrendered wife is misogynistic bollocks. Why sell yourself short?
It's like all that smiling Christian crap purported by the Duggers. Like Michelle has so much to smile about with the eldest son!
It's bollocks not to treat each other as equals.
You're brainwashed op. Grow up. Get educated.
I'm more confrontational with sangria! Happy Birthday me!!

Sparklingbrook · 09/07/2017 19:33

Not sure it's worth replying to the OP any more. Grin

BraveBear · 09/07/2017 20:23

I think poor Mandy is hanging on by a thread. Being a surrendered wife is probably not all she hoped for, if she's trying to find other surrendered wives to talk to. But the fact that it took her less than 2 pages to snap and call us a pack of bitches gives me hope for her!

Notmyrealname85 · 09/07/2017 21:54

Lol at Empress

YouHaveBeenSummarilyDismissed · 09/07/2017 21:58

This is a zombie thread.

But a funny one.

EmpressOfTheSpartacusOceans · 10/07/2017 09:26

Lol yes, but Gilead has to be the ultimate surrendered wives' society, surely?
