An actress wife who pretends to be good on the outside. The Good WIfe is usually passive agressive. Usually she is quiet would never say an inappropriate thing in front of anyone. However they are always sneaky, liars who BLOW LOUD when the doors are shut. A good wife nags a husband day in and day out and pretends to be the victim. She manipulates everyone and is never the victim she is the victimizer. Good wives spend so much time posing that they do nothing but pose. They are cold, calculating, moody, bitchy, phony, useless extremely lazy and privately very critical of everyone. They are adept at making up stories about other women they are jealous of-You won't catch them being what they are because they save the private hell for their husbands. Most of the time they choose a husband who has no idea how selfish and useless his wife is because he is feeling too guilty for running from her into the arms of anyone with a heart.
The Good wife will always appear sweet, diplomatic and unusually calm. In real life they are nuts and tend to enjoy liquor secretly.

The Good wife thinks appearing to be good makes her superior to other wives who are actually supportive and or working alongside their husbands. But by the time the good wife completes her smear campaign against anyone she is jealous of- the other woman looks like she is evil.
Don't trust your instincts around the Good Wife!!!

Get the GOOD WIFE mug.
A great series, starring Julianna Margulies which airs on tuesdays at 10 pm on CBS. Its about the day to day life of Alicia Florrick, wife of a famous state attorney who she is furious at for cheating on her and who is now in jail. Alicia also works in a law firm, in which she deals with interesting cases every day. She has two teenage children, a boy and a girl, who are taken care of by their grandmother. I highly recommend this series as it is a very enjoyable, intriguing and entertaining series.
The Good Wife is an example of a good law / mystery series, its way better that Law and Order (which, in my opinion, is shit)

When men watch this show it immediately shrinks their balls to the size of raisins.
Hey man have you seen Connor lately? No, why? He is tiny as hell and talks with a lisp. Wow he must have the good wife syndrome.
