3 reasons why being a trophy wife aint half bad
Okay- let me preface this post with this disclaimer- perhaps I THOUGHT I was in the running to be a trophy wife when I initially met my husband- who is 15 years my senior. WHY? Well of course the age gap– I mean no matter how old he got- I’d still be younger- hence- the trophy. Of course I also thought I’d be ensconced in a lifestyle similar to that of Camille Grammer and unfortunately (or fortunately- depending on how cool or scary you think her frozen face appears) that was not the be the trajectory of my trophy wife life.
My older, physician husband did have some reservations about allowing me full discretion over his annual income and so unlike Camille Grammer I was not privy to roughing life with a house staff and homes dotting the globe.
Still I consider myself a trophy wife- and here are 3 reasons why that status aint half bad…
#1 Never discount the power of your youth. Yes when he is 60 I will still be a “sultry and sexy” 45-year-old…(here’s to hoping he’ll be able to keep up with me in my “peak”).
#2 You can use your “trophy status” to get out of many a sticky situation. Case in point– when he asks you to sign a prenup you can leverage your desire not to sign by saying,
“Well- if u want me to sign it- you’ll have to go out and find another trophy wife.”
At which point he’ll probably say, “Of course honey you don’t need to sign anything because our love supersedes the superficiality of monetary possessions.”
Of course realize, the subtext of his statement is this; I’d rather not go through the whole ordeal of dating- wining and dining yet another woman and so will shelve said prenup.
#3 You can lord your trophy wife status over your husband and claim you can’t be bothered with menial chores like science fair projects and cleaning toilets, because as a trophy wife that time would be better spent at the gym…and if he wants you to continue to embody those trophy wife qualities well he’s going to have to pick up the slack!
So tell me what makes you a trophy wife?

I'm a trophy wife as I take care of everything and spoil him rotten.
I deserve the title of Trophy wife (and the charm) because I am proud of MY accomplishments and that makes me all powerful and sexy in the eyes of my husband
I'm a trophy wife because I'm the best and he knows it!
I'm a trophy wife because he is so lucky to have me!
I was a trophy wife before the saying was created. I am 18 years younger than my husband and we have been married for 40 years. He is still my knight-in-shining- armor
I would never consider myself a trophy wife even though my husband is 11 years older than me and was never married before. I was divorced with two children when we met and it was love at first sight. Not only did he love me but he loved the two (practice) kids that came along with me. ha ha
We’ve been together almost 10 years and have two children of our own now.
I’ve been very lucky to not only meet such an amazing man but I’m able to stay home with our children while he works a full time job to care for us.
Perhaps, I don’t like the term trophy wife. I consider us both equal in our marriage and what we do we do together. Yeah, I’m younger and we like different things but that’s what makes us work. If anything he’s my trophy husband.
