Why Do I Hate The Word "hubby" So Much?

I can't stand when I read, "my hubby" this, and "my hubby" that. I can't explain why. Maybe I would compare it to calling my wife, "my 'ol lady."

Is it just me?

  • Well, my wife prefers to call me "old b@stard" so hubby would be a step up

  • If she called u her ol man it would be like that. Hubby is like you calling her wifey. Much less offensive in my book. Hubby has a nice warm feel when I type it about my man.

    I feel that way about the word "moist." Of course, that's not the matter at hand, but I thought I'd throw it out there.

Hubby irks me when I can "hear" what I've read in that sickly sweet fake romance tone. Sometimes I just pass over it without noticing. But I don't think I'd like "wifey"...it's too sing songey for me. I'm all for pet names with each other but sometimes, not always, in a social or public setting its just silly.

And my fiancé called me his ol' lady once.

...Once.

I can't stand wifey or old lady! And I would never say hubby, lol, that's so not us!

He calls me his dirty pirate hooker...lol

And I cal him jack as in jack@$$;)

We are so loving!

I usually just refer to my husband as "My Baby Daddy"! lol

I didn't take his last name and we joke that people think we're just shacked up with 3 kids!!

Sometimes I wish we were just shacked up ...... He gets really hard to be married to at times;)

( we also have 3 kids ????)

I can't stand "hubby" either. Sounds like "chubby" too much.

Well I as well find it a term of endearment like saying, my 'man' sweetie. I no longer post hubs as hubby. He's hubs when I'm referring to him. It's less cute, less endearing, and just...hubs.

LOL! I was just thinking that!!

I don't call my guy "hubby" but sometimes refer to him as that when I'm typing text. Just easier than typing "husband" I guess?? I dunno...and he has called me his "Ol' lady" since I was fifteen...either that or "woman". I sometimes would like to hear him just say my name! :huh:

Well, so far, it looks like the answer to my question is, "yes." I am the only one.. :mellow:

It's tabloid lingo. It IS irritating. :P Along with "gal pal," "tot," "hunky beau" and "love nest."

No way !! I HATE the term "hubby." Always have . Also hate when couples call each other "baby" an the like . I literally cringe . It's just so generic and you know that they have most likely called al their past girlfriends/boyfriends or even spouses the same term of endearment. Just creeps me out. Yuck. Sorry for the rant! Just got excited that I am not the only one annoyed by certain terms of endearment :)

Eh... I need a BARF smiley now!! Tabloid explains it all though. No wonder I didn't know where it came from!!

My husband and I call each other "pie". It's our take on the whole "cupcake, sweetie" thing I guess

My wife calles me her french model cause of that stupid insurance comericial

I hate being called wifey it's like it devalues the importance of being someone's wife and husband. It turns something that is substantial and valuable and toning it down. I agree ( I am sure I am guilty of using the term) that I am a wife and that title means something so don't try to tone it down or make it cute...
