I worked with a guy who ALWAYS referred to his wife as 'THE WIFE". He never used her name, never said "my wife". It was always 'THE WIFE". Is this offensive the "THE WIVES" out there?

    No. My husband refers to me as "the wife" to his buddies. I'm not that sensitive.

    He must have multiple wives, can't keep the names straight.

    Yeah... I think it says a lot about the level of respect he has for her. I can't imagine my Husband constantly referring to me as "the wife" and he doesn't refer to me as a ball and chain either. Then again he's my best friend.

    being called "the wife" doesnt bother me at all. I will never be called "my ole lady" by the BF.

    If my husband calls me by my actual name, then I know I'm in trouble ...

    My favorite journalist refers to his wife as "the rib". I kinda love that one.

    my husband will refer to me as the wife, the ball and chain, old lady, or the excuse to get outta stuff he's not interested in.. Doesn't bother me..

    haha what creeps me out is when his co-workers walk up to me knowing who I am, but I have no idea who they are.

    People are too sensitive these days. The only thing that I think most women cringe at is calling your wife Momma. LOL.
