It has been interesting to see what women think when men use the phrase ," The Wife" instead of "My Wife". The results have ranged from not-a-problem to a-really-big-problem. M'love likes to tease me about it now after me telling him about all the differant responses.
So what is going through you minds when you say, "the wife"? I bet half the women really have no clue.

"Wife" is an almost sacred word. While I usually didn't use "the wife" when I did there was no doubt that I was referring to the single most important human being alive on the earth at the time.

To me it is a phrase used for amusement/variant purposes.

ha, kinda funny post apzr. i don't really remembering using that term, to me it conjures up the lockhorns cartoon strip so i avoid it. i can see the amusement factor in it sometimes and don't automatically think bad about the person saying it.

Mama? I can see Mom, being the mother of your children. But mama is a bit too weird.

Yeah... down here if you aren't called by a surname or epithet, you are Ma'am/Sir or Maw/Paw.
