I am curious what others thinks. Seems when saying "the wife" one may as well be saying ballnchain

I totally agree. When one uses "the wife", I believe it is a ball-n chain situation, most definitely!

I'm not hearing "the wife." Maybe I'm deaf as a doornail. I've heard "he has a wife & kids now." I've heard Kristen referred to as "his wife" too. But like I said, I may be mishearing.

If I am, I personally wouldn't read into it to much. Who cares?

I have heard 'the wife' before in my lifetime and that is what I have thought too...so clinical as opposed to MY wife...I think it is telling on some level. How 'the wife' applies to Lindsey/Stevie but I did find TF77 comments interesting...more 's

^ Wow, a whole 17 of us, huh? Maybe we should tell Star Magazine about this scandal.

Seriously, Niki, you know what I mean. None of this means that Stevie hates Kristen, it doesn't mean that Stevie is jealous of Kristen, it doesn't mean that LB told Stevie Kristen holds him back & that Stevie's his true love. It probably means nothing - it could mean all of those things I suppose, but I'm not buying it. But it's obviously fodder for the shipper crowd, so have fun with it.

BTW - I don't necessarily think it's derogatory or dismissinve either. If she was introducing LB & Kristen to you, for example, and said "this is Lindsey, and this is the wife" then yeah, I would say it's rude. To say "now he's changed, his life has changed, he has the wife, the kids..." is not the same thing.
