Hey, you married guys (1 Viewer)

No

cringe.

yes, this one is bad. (as is ball in chain)

the worst one by far IMO though is "My old lady" or "My old man"

There is absolutely no connotation of this that can paint a pretty mental image.

 

[efil4stnias]

Only if I were Usher.

 

[DaveXA]

Never have. Still call her babe. But that's for me and her. I'll refer her as my wife or her name with friends.

 

[guidomerkinsrules]

The one I struggle with is referring to my wife with someone else - especially if it’s related to my kids
Like, I’ll be in a story and get caught with ‘do I use her actual name? do I say his mother? Would that make it sound like we’re divorced? Do I say my wife? Does that mean I identify her in relation to me and not as her own person?’
It’s complicated man

With the kids, I just call her mom. And I call my mom grandma. Everyone else, I refer to her as wife or by name. But yeah, it can get complicated on occasion for sure.

You can't win either way.

You realize that?

I joke but "wifey" "ball and chain" or "ole lady" never occurred to me.

But I am twice divorced so obviously I have issues.

 

[FL_Saint]

Nope, no wifey here. She probably wouldn't have an issue with it, but it has never been something I really want to call her.

 

[Tapxe]

There is only one wifey. Her real name is Sandra Otterson. It is not safe to research her around your significant other or on a work computer.

 

[superchuck500]

Never said wifey.

 

[BigSlick]

That sounds like a small child trying to say something like "licey" or "slicey". Or, maybe, "spicy". No, I've never used the term wifey in reference to my spouse or anything else.

 

[DaveXA]

Do you use the term "wifey"? If you do, does your wife like it?

When you started with "Hey, you married guys" I was thinking you'd ask something entirely different. Extra points for sucking me into this thread.

 

[0rion]

Never used that one ....maybe I'll try it out and see if she prefers that over old battle axe.

Youve shocked me Dave.

 

[Brennan77]

Nah. But that's more because I have never thought to use the term. It sounds dumb.
