A while back I wrote about the return of the submissive wife, women resorting back to a time when gals were gals, and guys and were guys. It was shocking to read about to begin with but after some thought it did make some sort of sense for men and women to have distinct roles in a relationship. Having said that, despite women claiming that their lives had never been better it is still not something I could imagine following through with myself.
So you’ve met the submissive wife, now let me introduce you to the Time warp wife. A time warp wife not only sees her place as being the homemaker, priding herself on baking, cooking, cleaning, and making herself look pretty for when her husband comes home from work but does it all with the illusion of being in a past decade. A time warp wife dresses in the era of the 1930’s, 40’s, 50’s, decorates her home in the style of the era, and usually, like any proper lady would have, never leaves the house without her hat and gloves and a fresh coat of lipstick. Much like the submissive housewives these women say that they are extremely happy with their lifestyles and much of it again is to do with the clear roles in their relationship. The woman keeps house, the man brings home the bacon, no arguments!
I suppose I am personally always so fascinated with this topic because deep down somewhere I wish life could be a little more simple again. I’m not saying I want to be one of these housewives because I do find that a little bit extreme but to be honest I actually like keeping house, I enjoy the satisfaction of having a clean, cosy home, I like baking (even if it is a bit of a hit and miss situation sometimes!), and I have no interest in having some sort of high flying career. What really gets to me sometimes is that women who do choose these things are so looked down on these days. Does not wanting to wear a grey suit and go to work in an office everyday striving to reach that 6 figure corporate pay check make someone less worthy in society? Maybe everybody doesn’t have to be doing everything, and maybe that should be alright.

P.S. Despite what I’ve said I have absolutely nothing against women who do choose to have high flying careers and admire their ability to juggle everything. I am also aware that in today’s day and age it is very much necessary for many households to have 2 steady incomes.
