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?

Mine too, but more likely when talking to his football friends. He also puts on a different accent.

OP, your post reminds me of this Daily Mash article I spotted

www.thedailymash.co.uk/news/work/woman-never-realised-husband-was-such-a-twat-at-work-20200327194927

Years ago, my dh was on the phone and he referred to me as ‘the wife’. Up until that moment he’d never referred to me as that before, it really pissed me off.
I had a go at him afterwards and he’s never said it again.

I’ve never liked men who refer to “the wife”. Puts you in a category of possession, like “the car, the dog etc”.

My husband has called me They Mrs’ ever since we first got together. We have been together 17 years and been married 5 of those. As long as those people know I’m not an old hag or battle axe, it’s fine lol

Autocorrect needs to give me a break. That’s ‘The Mrs’.

So does mine.....although he knows not to refer to me as ‘the Mrs’ if I’m in earshot!
He used to call my 95yr old Grandma ‘mate’. She loved it! And loved him! (More than ne I sometimes wondered )

Doesn’t bother me......(as long as I don’t hear the Mrs)

We have a global pandemic going on and your worried about your husband calling u the Mrs and his work friends mate. Seriously this lockdown got your head doing over time

I’m going to request that I am now always referred to as “The War Office” bloody brilliant!!! 😂 And feels rather apt at the moment!

I'm with you, OP. I would rage if my husband referred to me as "the missus"

Me too. I'm not married but I wouldn't like it if I were and I were referred to like that. I have a name

My dad used to called my mum ‘our commanding officer’.

I don’t understand the prob, I would have more of a problem if he refererred to me as my old woman 😂😂

Meh, mine calls me Wifey, I use Cockbandit. Thing is, I know it’s just a term of endangerment and we love and respect each other.

#Thoughts&Prayers

My DH calls me "The Boss Lady" and he doesn't have any colleagues as he's self employed.

I did yell at him once in a disagreement over his work/organisational skills that his boss sucks.... not my finest moment but damn funny.

Wouldn't bother me. I'm "'er indoors" and he's "'im indoors"

I've always hated "the Mrs" or "the wife". It makes her sound like an object or a possession. Why not "My wife"? What woman ever refers to her husband as "the husband"? I'd clobber my husband if he ever said that!

I get mentioned by OH as kids mom all the time. Never my partner or Mrs or girlfriend. Sometimes he can remember to call me by my real name to others but that is very rare!

When speaking to family will say my name but to others nope, it drives me insane and asked him why but always ended up in a heated debate so 11 years on started playing him at his own game,he is now to all kids dad. Let's see how he likes it😈😂

If anyone finds being called the Mrs then you need to give your head a wobble, I am sure we can all think of a lot worse... Being born in East London when it was a civilised society every other bloke used the word mate for their friends, colleagues etc First world problems!

Are you serious?

It doesn't bother me, I am his missus and he is my hubby.

I can’t bear ‘the Missus’ or ‘the Wife’.

I call friends,
Mate, Budd, hun (female friends) their name, shitface... Whatever.

My fiancee
The Mrs, babe, sexybum, woman (only in jokes)

Jane has never minded me calling her babe or the Mrs, only one she doesn't like is... The wife! She said it's what her ex would say, and felt it insulting n belittling.

If you hear what we say to each other when larking about, your hair would fall out!

Even the cat gets called shitbag and stinky.

It's what normal people do, is have nicknames.

I overheard my DP refer to me on a work call the other day as 'Her Royal Highness'. I rather liked it, shows he understands the proper order of things. Just clarified with him and apparently I am HRH for short on emails. The War Office is magnificent.

Our actual names for each other (in private) would probably make most people vom so we have to try and remember not to use them when other people are around. Our real names tend to only be used when cross / in public.

Doesn’t bother me how he talks to work colleagues so can’t get worked up about it
