A wife's job is to look after her husband

[MadameChinLegs]

I should have posted in AIBU, really, as I do NOT think I am BU for wanting to give SIL a right good shake for saying this.

It makes me cross. I wanted to respond, but couldn't work out a suitably non-mean, non-waffly response.

Agree with Cogito - I like to think that DP and I 'look after' each other. Not that either of us need looking after as such, we're both able-bodied adults and could each manage fine on our own, but we support/cherish/nurture each other, that's what you do in a good relationship, or at least the kind I consider good!

It's not a full-time 'job' though, we both do other things as well! And it has to work both ways, of course.
