Hmmm. That's a big maybe. Leaning toward yes, but not 100% there. Depends on exactly how "fat and nasty" the wife is.
Edit: Looks like FatherFucker1138 beat me. A big ol' "No" to his. Not worth it.
Here's the situation: Assume you're single, if you're not already. You can have a magical wife. You're stuck with her forever; if you leave, you die a painful death.
When you're alone, she is absolutely perfect. She never ages, she is the absolute hottest woman in the world in your eyes (and her appearance can change depending on your mood). She is the most amazing cook, she's an expert with any kind of odd job you may need (car repair, fixing a leaky faucet), and she'll masterfully handle all your finances for you. She needs no possessions or medical care, so, aside from food, she doesn't drain your money in any way. Oh, and did I mention that, whenever you're in the mood, she's a nymphomaniac and freakier than any woman who ever existed? Plus she has restorative powers in her orifices--you could put a cow in there if, for some sick reason, you wanted to, and it would still be as tight as ever.
And she exists just to serve and please you. But she's more than capable of having an intelligent conversation on any subject you wish. And she magically makes $1500 a month, after taxes.
However, when anyone else is around, it's a totally different story. She has crooked horn-rimmed glasses, mousey hair, horrific teeth, acne, and a flat chest. She picks her nose, mumbles her words, has uncontrollable gas, and dresses like the nerdiest girl you can possible imagine. She's almost entirely socially incompetent, and she'll nag you over stupid things. And she butts into conversations with wrong or impertinent information. And she'll age as if she were normal in the eyes of other people.
However, you cannot keep her away from other people. You have to live as a normal couple, going into public and interacting with friends and family. Everyone will dislike you, though most people won't admit it to your face. They'll think your wife is a loser, and that you are an idiot. You will never be able to convince them otherwise, and you have to live with that knowledge.
Is it worth it?
