to hate the expression 'my hubby'

[cocoachannel]

I know I am In fact being unreasonable, but a new girl at work has spent the whole day referring to 'my hubby and I...'

Why 'hubby', why not 'husband' !? Same number of syllables. Aghhh.

'Podding'? That's a new one on me.

So, if this lady ever comes into the office and says, 'Hi hun, hubby and I are preggers'. No, YOU are he is not. 'I shall be podding in August and become a yummy mummy,' I will smile sweetly...but then report it on here

If that lady ever said that to me I'd be smiling through extremely gritted teeth.

Boak.

I loathe the term hubby, it makes me shiver whenever I hear it.

i hate it but not as much as partner i remember my mums friend got a new boyfriend and i said oooh your new boyfriend she said no partner, i have now for the past 10 years called her batman and him robin!!
its not a word but a statement i hate it when people say we're pregnant!! freaks me out!!

Other half is OK. Don't like "hubby" though!

Hate it. Hate it when i read it on here. Makes me cringe and throw up all at the same time.

Don't mind it - do use it.

What I hate hate hate though is "The Wife" AAAAAAAAaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa ... If I hear another jumped up squirt at work referring to their wife as that I swear I may not be able to hold it in.

I know a couple who refer to each other as hubby and wifey

Ooh agreed with the "we're pregnant" bit, I almost accidently said it when telling my parents our news, quickly recovered though - "we're p... [cringe] having a baby!"

Not keen on "The Wife" but strangely don't mind "The Mrs", definitely better than "The Ball & Chain"...

I call mine bawjaws.

I get called 'kid' by Dh. He is 5 yrs older and known him since I was 16 but am near 45 now - this has always annoyed me but he is oblivious to my reminders that I have an actual name I would like him to use.

Bonzo my DH calls me The Wife - to my face! a la Harry Enfield's barman character Les. I find it quite funny. To everyone else he refers to me as 'er indoors [sigh].

That sounds quite patronising afts, how subtle are your reminders?

Go, I've heard people refer to their wives / girlfriends as "'er indoors", personally would not float my boat!

I think my DH calls me by my name to other people but then Ill never really know because Im not there!

he always calls me sweetheart or sweet pea or pickle to my face and he always gets called 'ginge' by me (surname is ginger, it just stuck!) I do use hubby alot though only because I dont like the other phrases out there and Im not original enough to make up my own
