"Invisible Wife"
is
a playful name acquired over 14 years of marriage.
It does not reflect any attitude or belief of inferiority of lack of esteem, or
male-female role issues.
It developed from the fact that, given our very busy schedules and diverse
interests,
people rarely found us at the same events. Or, if we were at the same
event, we were at
different areas or times.
While it was known that he is married, people began to wonder
and imagine who his wife is and what she is like.
Those who know us readily confirmed the marital status and that I do, indeed,
exist.
So he began to refer to me as his 'Invisible Wife'.
We compliment each other, sharing talents and strengths.
We often do 'behind-the-scene' activities that support our interests.
I do have a name.
sometimes I tell people
and sometimes I tell people whose wife I am
