I've not seen where men say Dear Wife... men say "THE Wife"... even
the dog is refered to by name but those red necks consider their wife
to have no more value than an empty beer can/useless thing... truth be
told those rednecks don't remember their wifes's name. However when
women refer to Dear they're being disingenuously polite, truth be
known what they're really thinking is That *******/Bitch.
