He also is the more gregarious of the two of you. I know a few guys who are "Ms. X's husband" to most people :) I do think you've played yourself into the background sometimes - you could have been on stage in Proto! This is much too much to pass by :)

You are doing a great job, and you should be proud of it. A male dominant society like India is full of people who might be using 21st century gadgets but still keep 14th century thoughts. Just smile at their stupidity and move on. Whoever identifies you as just Prateek’s wife – has not actually spend some time with you. You are doing a great job, and you should be proud of it.

"Prateek's wife is doing a fabulous job as the CEO of muziboo" :) Anyway, those who don't appreciate your professional pedigree are either plain oblivious or malicious...Forgive the former and ignore the latter...As for those who appreciate your value as "a domestic, sexual and romantic companion", I see no wrong in that :) How about this ??

It depends on the context. P.S:The adopted surname wasn't forced on me! Hi Shourya,

I am not saying being identified as a man’s wife or a woman’s husband is wrong altogether. It depends on the context.

P.S:The adopted surname wasn’t forced on me!

Did you have it from birth ? Did you chose to adopt it or was it forced upon you ? There's nothing wrong in being identified as a man's wife (or a woman's husband). Both of you should be proud of it :-) Now if there comes a day, where people start overlooking your genuine achievements because of your gender or whose spouse you are, then there is a problem (and I am not saying that this does not happen) Cheer up :-) What’s your surname ? Did you have it from birth ?
