Therefore the kids are not his; he is just your husband. Do they check these things before publication?

“my kitchen”, “my house”, “my bedroom”.

How prevalent is the tradition of the dowry where the woman did in fact take the house, not always including contents, into the marriage (so that she couldn’t be kicked out?) with pre-nups already in existence?

Actually couldn’t watch it after spending so many years at one of Malta’s largest corporates. It was Med Men through and through.

I cook when I hanker for Maltese type cuisine, and my wife lets me as long as I clean up afterwards.

Funny though how it is assumed that to be a father one has to be a husband too – so no photos of unmarried daddies please.

Here above, its the kids which are his wife’s, not his too.

I often hear Maltese women, while talking in front of their husbands, saying things like “my kids”, “my kitchen”, “my house”, “my bedroom”.

What’s become of “our”?
