Ive seen this happen only a handful of times, but they were on military bases and between a lower enlisted member and wives who were married to E-7 and above.

Refreshingly, I met wives of several generals and admirals, and they were pretty chill about it. They were nice, in fact.

If they did that, I'd probably just walk away from them entirely. Unless they have the credentials to acces the same info their spouse does, they dont get that title.

No way in hell I'm calling a house wife "colonel smith".

pretty common trend. Not just regarding the military, but anywhere.

It's called being a dependa (short for "dependapotamus", or if you speak Russian then "dependebila" also flows pretty nicely >_>).

Meh who cares what she wants to be called?

Anyone who says "I refuse to call this lady Lt Copper because she's only a WIFE!" who then turns around and yells at conservatives for not calling transgender men and women their new names is a massive hypocrite

Just call people the name that makes them happy. Why do you gotta be a jerk? It isn't hurting you.

There's a difference between choosing your name and choosing a title you haven't earned.
