My husband calls work colleagues “mate” and referred to me as “the Mrs”

[okayokaywhatsnext]

I cannot take this working from home any more.

Anyone else the same?

Can't see the issue?

I'm always known as the mrs as are everybody's else's partners where by other half works. Not getting the problem at all?

Mine call me his cloth eared old bat, I call him my silly old fool, sign of affection after 48 years of marriage

I used to work with a man who referred to his wife as The War Office

So did I, wonder if it’s the same guy? Mine calls me his little Schmunzelmonster.

Mine calls me the Queen Of Darkness.

My son called me mate from the age of 18 and still does and he does it to annoy me

My dad used to call my mum the dragon. We were the tea pot lids. Bless him.

I'm known as "The Management" here

I dont understand what the problem is. If it's a big team they arent going to remember the names of each others wives/ partners. The wife/ the Mrs is fine. Less annoying for the team than using your name and them thinking who?

I loathe "The Wife", it's so disrespectful, like The Fridge or The Cooker, like she is a thing not a person.

The Mrs .... it depends. You can usually tell if its done with affection or not.

Canadian man, name began with A? —think they were swingers—

Tut ... cross out fail

Ugh the missus ugh.

I love this thread! Particularly the War Office, the Leader of the Opposition, and the Management! Brilliant! Your DHs obv have a lovely sense of humour.

And?

No one else uses She Who Must Be Obeyed?

DH calls me The Wiff. I don’t smell, he wrote my Christmas card out when he was pissed after a works do one year and wrote in in it “to my beautiful darling Wiff”!

I think it’s funny!

DP does the same. He's northern and manages a large team of lad types - fortunately he isn't one himself. I think it's quite sweet, but at first it was rather strange to my Surrey brain.

I’m in my husbands contacts as the missus - he refers to me as my wife at work - not got an issue with the former

I’m not seeing the issue

No, mine was called Peter. He was a tit.

And what do you call him when you speak to your mates smh

I love The Wiff.

@EdersonsSmileyTattoo I get the same nickname here too!
