Corporate wife?

Someone just asked me what a corporate wife is and I was so surprised that I couldn't think of an answer. It seems so obvious and the word is so familiar that when I had to define it I was flummoxed. I guess to me it is someone (me) who has married a career professional and who now has to adapt to certain things - long hours, travel, entertaining, socialising, being an asset to your husband's career.

In many other jobs you have little or no interaction with your partner's employer - as a corporate wife, I have to relate, entertain, impress, socialise, accommodate and adapt to demands by my husbands' company.

Think Stepford Wives!
