but you don't have a wife.

by najwa-kareem

You have a housemate, but you don't have a wife. You have a mother to your children, but you don't have a wife. You have a woman that you work your butt off to take care of financially, but you don't have a wife. You have a pretty face who gets dressed up fancy before leaving your family's house that you take to holiday parties, but you don't have a wife. You have a lady that you take pictures with that are then posted on her social media, but you don't have a wife. You have a female who is sweet and loving with you when she needs something, but you don't have a wife. You have a woman that wears the wedding ring you picked out who has time for seemingly everyone else except you, but you don’t have a wife. You are married, but you don't have a wife.
