    After 24 years, as long as he still calls me... it's all good.

    I get referred to as the "Ol' Lady" even though I am 2 years YOUNGER then him. He got this from my dad...that is what he calls my mom. I don't care and it doesn't bother me, he doesn't mean it in a bad way it is just conversation.

    I'm pretty thick skinned so it wouldn't upset/offend me at all. I call my husband "the *kitten*" to my friends/coworkers :wink:

    It depends on if he says it in a loving way or a derogatory way. :huh: Saying "the wife" on it's own is hardly offensive.

    So true. He only calls me "Jennifer" when hes mad about something. Other than that its a ton of different nicknames.

    That sounds better then "The B****":devil:

    Agreed. I would much rather be THE wife than THE *****.

    Nah. It seems like a comfortable term of endearment. My husband refers to me as his lady. :)

    I'm fine with it, my husband calls me the wife or wifey all the time, and we both refer to my daughter as the sprog!

    Sooooo true!!! :laugh:

    This.. he's either annoyed by something I did (how's that even possible), or we are meeting / around someone that we need to be more formal with.

    When hubby was working in an RV dealership, I was referred to by my name. Now that he works with a bunch of construction guys and builders, I am "the wife". I don't care eitherway.... he comes home to me, we have sex, and he loves me. How he refers to me to his buddies is none of my concern, since I refer to him in various manners depending on who I'm talking with (Hubs, hubby, husband, llamaboy, lump on a log, etc)

    Does he refer to himself in 3rd person, because that would be fantastic.

    My husband refers to me as "my girl" I don't think I'd like "the wife"

    I refer to my SO as "My Love" and he "The Empress" when talking about me or just "Empress" when adressing me.
    "The Wife" sound very impersonal and disrespectful to me. But to each their own...
