You wouldn't be at my cocktail party because you are too busy taking ballroom dance classes with your Husband, or holding hands as you walk on the beach with your Husband, or you're too busy taking one of those "How to Make Your Own Sushi" classes with your Husband. Bletch! You should come with a warning label so that Diabetics don't get too close to you. Chances are, you are not even human, but some sort of android created through a joint venture by the Disney Company and Lockheed Martin.
18-26 points, TheOutwardlyKindWife. You love your Husband and family and are generally kind and content... but given enough Chardonnay the claws will come out! You go girl!

You do not wear rose colored glasses, you have lowered your expectations, and you are a powerful, independent woman! You are the hit, nay, the entertainment, at every party you attend. And your PilotHusband cannot live without you!

With regard to #4-Option D: Pilot buddies know Pilot husband's schedule better than APW and don't bother calling the house because they know he's not there (unlike APW who has no clue when he'll be home and only remotely remembers when he left.
