I’m a Victorian Housewife

Trad wives are often compared to 50s housewives. That somewhat applies to me. I am very traditional. I wear dresses every day. As much as possible I wear jewelry to clean the house as well.

The Tiktok Outrage is Pathetic

40 year old women doing stupid dance routines. Book recommendations for books that have already been read by anyone even vaguely interested in them.

Yes, he likes to look at me in those things, but he … Continue reading My Husband is Possessive and That’s a Good Thing

I want to go off all my Bipolar medicine to help me lose weight and trigger hypomania (not mania). My husband insists that I … Continue reading Obedience, Moving
