The absolute antithesis of a supportive wife..

..Never in my life had I seen a person have their toast corrected. When I say toast, I do indeed mean the articulation of one's personal thoughts or feelings on the subject of the toast.

Yet, tonight, with the little one's maternal aunt, maternal grandmother, maternal grandfather, maternal grandmothers' mother present as I made the toast.. the 'wife' stepped in when I said "..to my oxygen".

Antagonistically & virulently, she leapt and barked that she is not 'your' oxygen (!), she is everyone's..

It is perfectly fine (in the wifes' book of fine practice) for maternal family members to refer to 'my girl', 'my love', 'my dear'..... but if Daddy does it, no matter the context, look out...
