I was microwaving my lunch at work and I said 'my wife made this, leftovers'

Peer said 'you know, I hear you referring to her as your wife a lot, and I'm not ok with it -- it's dehumanizing and objectifying. Women aren't your possession. Please use her actual name or call her your partner'

I'm... Not doing this. This is absurd

Didn't know people actually thought like this.

I'd tell them to politely fuck off. You know, in honor of your wife.

I'd say something along the lines of "my partner" would still be possession, vs my wife"

Except you don't have a wife, or a job.

I don't

saying the phrase "my wife" doesn't imply that I own her

I'm triggered by the fact that you "own" your wife. You're not your wife's owner. You should use the word governor, or chairman, not owner.

In some circumstances calling your wife "my wife" actually is a little weird.

For example, I work with a guy. His wife also works for the company. We all know his wife by her first name. But when telling stories, he'll still always say "my wife and I" and all I can think is, "motherfucker, we know who CJ is"

Im more annoying with it. I say "my sister" to people who don't directly know my family, and I have 3.

Sometimes it's just habit. I've said it to my siblings about "my dad".

You could point out how silly it is by saying "I'm her husband."

The "possession" goes both ways.

At my previous job, the entire company, from the oldest guy there married for 40 years to the youngest guy 19 years old whod only been dating some chick for a couple weeks....ALL of them said "my old lady" in reference to their wife/gf. The guys over 50 I understood...everyone else was just weird. Funny, but weird.

I was the only person who didnt do this. I told my wife one day about this phenomenon and now it's an inside joke between us.
