  • ry commented on the word vice-husband

    a man who adopts some part of the role of husband to a woman who is widowed, separated, or otherwise unable or unwilling to (re-)marry.

    And Laura waited long, and wept a little,
    And thought of wearing weeds, as well she might;
    She almost lost all appetite for victual,
    And could not sleep with ease along at night;
    She deem'd the window-frames and shutters brittle
    Against a daring House-breaker or Sprite,
    And so She thought it prudent to connect her.
    With a Vice-husband, chiefly to protect her.
    Byron, Beppo
