How should I answer that question?  My wife is a doctor and I don't want to tell people that for several reasons.  My answer now is very vague but I will be moving to a much smaller community and being vague won't really work anymore.  Any suggestions.

You could say that she is very new age and facilitates other people's well being!

Or how about: she goes out in the morning, I don't really know where, so that I can play with my balloons, and around tea time, she comes back  ;)

We all have our cross to bear, but some of us need more wood than others!

You could just say she works for the NHS. When people ask me what my other job is I say I work for the council rather than saying I'm a social worker!

My wife is just a few classes shy of being a lawyer. When people ask (rarely) I tell them straight. It does not bother me a bit. I make a comparable income doing something I find easy and enjoyable while having plenty of free time with our daughter. What more could a guy want?

  Nice!  My wife is a doctor and almost finished with residency.  The problem with telling people that she is a doctor is that 1 in 5 doctors in the US will be sued for a non-medical reason, either by strangers or "friends".  A lawyer friend recommended that I not advertise what my wife does for just that reason.  So I need something witty to say.

Tell them this... It works for me...
Work is a Place she goes.... Not a thing she does....

You could say that she's a scientist which is quite vague but also sort of true,
