According to British journalist Tara Winter Wilson, Toxic Wife Syndrome is rampant and droves of gold diggers are prowling in search of rich prey to join the tribe.

Winter Wilson says the danger signals of a wife going toxic are all too plain:

– Quitting work to “care for the children” and then sends them to boarding schools as soon as they outgrow their nannies.

– Demanding a maid hired to work up to 14 hours a day six days a week.

– Hiring out the jobs of cooking, housework, and childrearing

– Living in the country, forcing her husband to endure a long commute into work every day.
