Partly Facetious: First Wife or First Lady?

"There are some relationships which are confrontational by definition."
Published September 5, 2015

"There are some relationships which are confrontational by definition."
"If you are referring to an ex and a current wife..."
"The ex says she doesn't bear any ill feelings for the current and let's be honest, the ex has been associated romantically with others post-divorce so I would believe the ex."
"Oh, for Pete's sake don't complicate the issue. Who is the source of this news item: ex versus current wife confrontation?"
"Well, a cousin of the current?"
"O dear, so the source could be the current."
"She denies it and besides the cousin could be related to the first husband."
"Right that was a family affair, for your information a First Husband in politics doesn't mean that another is to follow. I mean Zardari sahib was the First Husband when BB was in power, and Kulsoom Nawaz is the First Wife..."
"Never heard of First Wife before, the term is First Lady..."
"Hey, that's so American...anyway talking about the truth and reconciliation commission, the Current Wife did deny a degree which, as the Khan pointed out correctly, is not a requirement for marriage."
"Ha ha ha. But the Khan is the very first party leader who has an ex and a current wife...the others acquire new wives without letting go the old ones."
"Like Mian sahib junior has two wives - one current and the other Dowager Wife."
"Where did that come from?"
"Well, the Dowager is the one the family interacts with."
"But what about Sharif junior squared? He also has one wife at any given time."
"Junior squared?"
"Humza Shahbaz Sharif."
"Ah yes, you are right he lets one go before he acquires another. Like the Khan."
"Maybe it's an age thing and let's be honest the Khan may belong to a different generation but his views and support group are the youth so his actions are more akin to the Humza age group..."
"Don't be facetious. But I think it's more a reflection of the women who take his fancy! They are educated and socially well placed and they are not going to marry him when another is on the sidelines."
"There is that."
