The only time to call your husband "wife" is if he is in drag and you're trying to trick your son's fiance's father -- a senate republican -- into thinking that you're a straight couple.
I call my husband my husband. At work my husband refers to me as his "spouse" just because he works for a very conservative company and he's not out at work. Which I honestly don't blame him. But otherwise he calls me his husband.
A fork and knife couple meets a fork and fork couple. The former ask the latter "so which one of you is the knife?"
Then a fork and spoon couple walk in.
40 years. Wow! Congratulations on the long and I’m sure wonderful relationship. Like the others, I also use husband. The only time I use “spouse” is when I’m asking other people about their spouse and I don’t want to assume their gender.
We mostly say partner or husband, although I don’t really love the word husband. I have a lot of thoughts around marriage as an institution, although I’m glad we have the right to marry in many countries now.
Nope. Never used anything. Mine turned out to be a textbook narcissist. The only thing I call him is a fucking cunt now. Filed for divorce over the holidays and we’ll be lucky to be divorced by the holidays this year. He’s the most selfish, self centered, evil cunt I’ve ever met. He can rot in hell.

That sounds like it should be made into a movie, on two different continents.
And a musical.
I think I know a perfect name for this movie. The snake tank, hell they can even tie it into the movie by naming a bar after it or something.

Call each other whatever you want. We use husband. "Spouse" sounds too clinical for me.

We both introduce the other as Husband.

I am not married so I like to use "life partner" (in my native tongue it sounds sweet though). Seems more deep then boyfriend.

I say husband - it took a little while to get used to, but it feels comfortable now.
