Why, they would agree with me of course. They know what's good for them -they catch on a little quicker than some.

She the wife of my life, so it is sort of possessive but not a possession

I think that two members are having personal/private conversations in the public threads? I asked earlier of they were related or something and my post was deleted. BK

gotta break this one up a bit for clarity Quote:

A bit of a background on 'The Wife' She's a LEO who has survived crap childhood, a previous abusive relationship, and is a Ginger. Survivor of, Endometriosis, Cancer, Whipple and Chiari operations and two size 0 friends in High School. She also just turned 30. If words actually had power, there isn't a word in any language that can do anything to her that life already hasn't. So we've stripped words of rank and pay. It removed any emotion attached to the word when used as an insult which is arguably a benefit to any LEO. "night dancing" I'm stealing that one. In the throes of passion, I usually can't formulate words. That'd be akin to Mozart trying to compose a symphony while racing the Paris-Dakar Rally. |

Words DO matter.
Margaret Thatcher said, and she was undoubtably right: Watch your thoughts for they become words. Watch your words for they become actions. Watch your actions for they become... habits. Watch your habits, for they become your character. And watch your character, for it becomes your destiny! What we think, we become. When the Women's Movement started in the 70's, and I was there, one of the first things we did was raise hell over how people referred to woman. Because words influence how people think. We refused to be chicks, birds, dollies, C's, girls, gals, pretty-little-thangs, pretty much anything but 'women'. An exception was women under 18, who could legitimately be called 'girls'. Once the culture changed enough to stop making a woman a second class citizen, unable to buy a house or a car by herself, things eased up. But the culture changed because we INSISTED on respect. This was meant to be fairly light hearted discussion. But you're pushing your luck, Boulant. Go home, your mommy is calling you....

My wife and I always call each other different names. Husband, the husband, wife, the wife, the other person. etc.
Maybe it offends other people but between us we find it comedic sometimes as some people will ask us "You call him/her THAT????" I guess it's the sarcasm and goofiness in me's that my wife has finally understood and now get's it an goes along with it.

My grandfather would almost always address my grandmother as "woman." Such as "woman phone," "woman door," "woman coffee," "woman the roast," etc. Some might regard that as somewhat improper. Although he would often use a short version of her first name unless he was referring to her as "woman" or addressing her as "woman." |

I've been calling "The wife" Wifezilla for about 25 years, a good friend of mine refers the "The wife" as No-balls.

He's still prone to making nasty remarks about Koreans and he won't eat so much as a single grain of rice. |

When a couple use "nicknames" or "the wife" or " the husband" it is up to them to decide if it works for them or not. I wouldn't dream of interfering or asking why they call each other what they do. Classic MYOB
That being said, I would be upset if someone called their wife the "c" word in public. What you do in private is your own business. Some people seem awful angry.

Contrariwise, I once had a boyfriend who addressed me as "Woman", in some very specific circumstances. As in "woman, GET in my bed". Weirdly enough, I found that entirely charming. Go figure...

The context with my grandfather was more along these lines- He'd be lying on the couch watching TV, my grandmother would be in the kitchen trying to tend to the stove, the dishes, and setting the table, the phone would ring, and he'd shout, "woman, phone!" or somebody would knock at the door and he'd shout, "woman, door!" I suppose in his defense, he ruined his back working in heavy industry, but I don't think it would have been the death of him to answer the phone. |

when one speaks of "my" wife, it is usually in an authoritative context.
where as "the" wife is usually used in an authoritarian context. "my wife would never allow that" is usually used when there is room for flexibility. "the wife would never allow that" is usually used when there is no possibility of negotiation. Last edited by autoduel; 07-30-2013 at 11:56 PM.. |

This thread is great. People who hear my wife and I talk to each other assume we have a totally jacked up relationship. We just have a twisted sense of humor.

Well, you have to be a little twisted when you stay together as long as my husband and I have been together. We have been married almost 40 years. I still adore him and I know he adores me.
Everyone is different with different ways of talking to each other. What IS important is if it works for you and you stay happy in your relationship and together. I am not sure why anyone would care a whole lot what my husband calls me unless it was a nasty name that was meant to hurt.

When I catch myself "jesting" with "the" wife in front of the kids, I would ask my kids if they were worried about our marriage as I don't want them to worry as I did. They would just give me that "oh Dad" look so I think they are on to our routine and know that we adore one another. I also often refer to the wife as "my bride". After almost 25 years of marriage, it still seems very appropriate to me. Oh and on another topic, I did get the wife a pink Glock as an anniversary present several years ago.
