devoT -> RE: Does anyone else here seek a male wife? (8/23/2007 10:26:57 AM)

I'm a male wife; I do all the shopping, cooking, cleaning etc. There's no 'feminizing', in the sense I'm not forced to wear female clothing (that isn't our thing), and there's no real understanding that my role is a 'feminine' one. It just felt natural. My wife is quite dominant, and I'm quite sub. I can cook, she can't. It just seemed the most natural, less-hassle way of doing it. It wasn't even discussed, or formalised, it just sort of fell into place. We both work from home, so there isn't an issue over 'breadwinning' (she gets all my earnings anyway). She initiates sex, although I do sometimes wish she'd be a little more 'masculine' and dominate me more in the bedroom than she does (she doesn't like to penetrate me, whereas I love it). Apart from that minor thing, we're blissfully happy and it works very well.
But anyway, what I really wanted to post about was the idea of name changing, specifically the husband taking the wife's surname at marriage. I don't know what the laws are like in the US about this, but here in the UK it is only tradition for a woman to take the man's name, not law. So there is nothing stopping such an action at all. In fact, we actually considered me taking my wife's name, and the only thing that stopped us was the fact that i'd already changed my name legally a couple of years prior (I was adopted, and then I found my real father: I took his name), and the sheer bloody hassle of doing it all over again was too much to bear.
