You have to have the looks to be a trophy wife as well as the intelligence, education and charm to make men envy your DH. I doubt you have those attributes based on your comment about what being a trophy wife entails. Sitting behind a desk and sipping coffee is not a bad gig for someone like you.

Don't you sound smug. Better hope your fairy tale lasts. Many many wives never have a clue their man cheats on them. Being a trophy wife doesn't keep a husband faithful, sista.

Well "sista" I'm just happy to be finally living the life of a trophy wife without being a much younger second wife. In terms of cheating he's never given me a reason to believe he might be and I do my best to never give him a reason to want to. You might try that yourself sista.

Why hasn't he "earned the right" to be a trophy husband? You might think you're a trophy wife but you're just a retired wife.

Oh he definitely has earned the right to be a trophy husband!

As for sex, well, it is on his terms. Your full time job is to make sure you are always desirable for him. And, you have to figure he is having affairs.

Wait, you also say this to the 37 year olds who had a career and then decide to SAHM to further their husbands' careers. But a page back someone told this kind of wife that she was NOT a trophy wife. So which is it?

Trophy wife here- it's boring AF, and you're in the position where your DH can treat you like crap and demand whatever he wants, and you're stuck. All the other trophy wives I know have this problem, DHs are complete jerks and there's not much they can do. I'm trying to start a career so I can support myself, and my DH is kicking and screaming every step of the way because he knows then he has to play nice or I'll leave. I often fantasize about my ex, who made little money but was the sweetest person ever.

That being said, the older guys DH works with never divorced their wife for a younger model. Instead, wife sticks with it 20 years, raises the kids, gets a bunch of cosmetic surgery, gets a degree, then divorces him and gets a ton of money.

Do you actually live in the real world? No, no more than you do.

if you consider dcum real world, i'd worry about you. WWE real too?

Oh my gosh are you serious?

One day women will learn that the worse insult ever is NOT "your man will leave you".

If he leaves I get half of a huge 401k, child support, alimony and my substantial premarital assets- l never need to work again.

My husband is a great guy and I love him so much- but if you think your job protects you from being cheated on you are nuts.

You are the woman we all want to be and the woman most husbands would like to have.......if their brains weren't in their penises!

Paris Hilton's mother Kathy is a great trophy wife.

As is our current First Lady.

They seem to be doing well.

I would do nothing and then 2 chicks at the same time.

The thing about being a trophy wife is you are not allowed to have your looks degrade. Because there will be another 20 something around the corner. So, you need to work out regularly. You need to keep the skin wrinkle free. Etc.
