The nudist girlfriend/wife.

Unless the wife/GF was already a nudist before meeting her current partner, it likely was her current partner that got her to try it. Over the years, when I’ve asked nudist women how they started, they will usually point at their husband; often with a sarcastic expression. My wife does the same thing.
Every so often I’ll meet a couple where it was the woman who really wanted to hang out naked and “dragged” her husband to a resort; but that’s not the norm (I do like their spirit though).

Out of all these women that were convinced to try, a number of them will actually stick with it. Some find it surprisingly fun and/or relaxing, others yet find it empowering. For my wife, it’s sprawling out naked in the hot sun. She finds it not just extremely relaxing; but also a bit “titillating.” She says that if it wasn’t for other people, she’d spend the whole day like that.
But…“other people” is when things start to get complicated. Because if you’re at a nude beach or resort, there likely are other people around.

If your or any other wives grew up anything like mine, they were probably taught things at a young age like “good girls keep their pussies private”; or some variation of it. And social nudity will challenge the heck out of that concept. Sure, women do have “easy to conceal” internal genitals (although I would argue that actually complicates things more for them). And some will choose to just preserve their modesty by keeping their legs closed/crossed at all times. But that's hard to pull off without constantly sitting and/or wrapping up every time to get up.**

Some go in the opposite direction, just say "screw modesty," and let their legs fly open. That was the approach my ex-wife took. It was initially confusing to me because it was steeped in “plausible deniability.” When I’d bring up the fact that her bald pussy was exposed for all to see, she would claim “unawareness”, or just be evasive. I eventually realized that her decision to spread out had started from a desire to express a lack of inhibition; but it was her ensuing popularity and the attention she got from it that kept her spreading. It made her feel attractive, but she was also conflicted about it; because it was a little bit exhibitionistic, and it clashed with her moderately conservative upbringing.
Some women are not conflicted about it at all, and embrace it or just accept it. I don’t believe there is a single “spreader” out there that is “blissfully unaware” though. They know.

Then there are women, who like my wife, are totally inconsistent about it. The setting, their mood/vibe, the people around them, their blood alcohol level, the position of the moon…all these things and then some can make their comfort with social nudity virtually unpredictable. During the course of a day at the resort, you might see my wife chatting with an acquaintance, feet apart and hands on her hips; with her labia dangling right in front of them. Or on all fours while climbing on a paddle-board or straightening her towel. The next day she might be much more conscious about how she ‘hangs out” around other people. I’ve asked her about I, and she will admit that sometimes she’s in a “naked mood” and is likely to be more uninhibited; and other days she just isn’t.
I think a lot of nudist wives are a bit like this. Sometimes it’s a bummer; sometimes it’s a nice surprise.

At the end of the day though, if a wife is comfortable being naked at the beach or resort, the husband wins. Whether she’s a “spreader” or a “sitter” is secondary IMHO.

Thoughts and objections welcome.
