Don't Make Me Divorce You

Dear unknown significant other of the distant yet eternal variety,

If you don't call me "wifey," I won't call you "hubby." Because "hubby" doesn't even make sense. It should really be "husby," but that just sounds worse.

"Babe" is also grounds for divorce.

Deal? Deal.

Cordially,

ME

I've always hated "hubby" too. Sounds like chubby. Mixed with hobby. I do like wifey though- but only when you call a man wifey. Like, "Aw, Stuart, you made dinner? You're such a good little wifey."

I don't know, Andrea. "Wifey" just sounds so degrading to me. It ranks up there with when a guy addresses you as "woman." And, yes, "hubby" also sounds like "chubby," as in Ben & Jerry's "Chubby Hubby," which has apparently been changed to "Hubby Hubby" in support of gay marriage...?!? Oh boy.
