Saw a message from my DH to a female colleague in which he referred to me as “the wife”. For some reason, it made me feel uneasy. I thought “the wife” sounds … I don’t know, impersonal?
I’ve met the colleague and we know each other’s names.
( Ps, I was going through his messages at his request, to find some info from a little while back).
Do you or your DH ( or DW) refer to each other as ‘the wife’ or ‘the husband’ to colleagues?
Interestingly, I’ve no problem with ‘the other half’ although I don’t use that phrase either.
