THE LIFESTYLE WIFE

She’s the flashiest of the lot. These ladies have put in a lot of time and energy perfecting the art of getting their men. And the LW is not about to give it all up just because she finds out her husband cheated. Betrayals are swept under a pile of designer buys and lavish vacations. The LW is under no illusions—she would rather live with infidelity and ill behaviour than create a vacancy for some other LW. She’s the trophy wife of the business tycoon, sports star or Hollywood bigwig—always impeccably turned out, the perfect PR product. A LW has everything— houses, clothes, and holidays other women can only dream of, and she always knew it would come at a price (think Coleen Rooney, wife of UK football star Wayne Rooney, who tolerated reported infidelities in return for a pampered life).
