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 is warm and cuddly to me. Would you prefer to call DH!!! Darling hubby?

Is not the equivalent to ol lady. We say hubby when we want something but willing to give a reply in return.

Hubby is only one letter of chubby. It should be banned!!!

Plus I love the word moist. It's a lovely word. Lol

I HATE the word hubby. Of course now that Im divorced I don't have to worry about being one anymore. Problem Solved. LOL.

I call my wife 'the hand brake'

because she stops me from going any where!

Hubby doesn't really bother me, but the abbreviation DH just irks me sometimes. (Darling husband or Dear husband) I just find it silly when someone could easily just say husband. It just sounds kind of sarcastic to me lol. I don't know. Not much bothers me but that one kinda does.

Hehehe I Thought it meant "damn husband"

But on that note it bugs me too!

I just write "husband" that's what he is I have never in my life referred to him as "hubby" or "dear husband" so why would I type it!!

Now a*****e yes (AH) or d**k face (DF) or.... :P

My pet peeve word is "bro". It pisses me off to no end when some of these guys on other forums say, "Thanks bro," - usually it's posted after something free is given away. I ain't your bro. You don't even know me, so why are you treating me like you and I shared a foxhole in Vietnam? :P

What about dude can I call you dude? After you give me something??? :P

My fiancé calls me baby.

I call him @ wipe.

We're the picture of lovely romance haha

I prefer buttmunch, he must be okay with it, no complaints in twenty years

Can I just say I think it's funny ya'll get so pissed off about certain words? hehe I don't mind hubby, or any other terms my wife may have referred to me as. Ass, idiot, dummy, jerk, yeah I earned those, you're not taking them from me buddy. (I'm sure "buddy" makes someone here mad too). I mean, all in all, they're just words. I refer to some guys as "brother", but I certainly don't mean that to come across as a literal term, and I've called some girls sister too, mostly in joking terms. For me, it's any military, police, ems type folks that get the "brother" from me, and it's not constant. I certainly never mean it in the "douchebag" jersey shore type setting.

As a woman, I can't stand it! I'd never call my husband that...

Hmm I had never thought of that. I sometimes refer to my husband as "The Hubster" but I guess I never asked him his opinion of that title.

What my wife calls me is gonna be what I wanna be called if she wants an answer. Anything else I probably deserve. B)
