Sorry that I'm all over the place today, lol. A while back Bear was talking to his sister and a family friend was hanging out with her. Now, this girl I can't recall if he had dated her or not. What I have discovered, and I was kinda present for this, is that they refer to each other as wife and husband because they are so alike. I'm not a fan of this, obviously. He had told his sister to tell (Let call her Sandy) Sandy Hi. His sister proceeded to tell Sandy that Bear said Hi but she couldn't manage to say his name so she just said, "Your husband says Hi". I hate being so uncomfortable with this but I can't help it. He mentioned to me that the two of them were told to get married because they were so alike one another. Any tips to help me out ladies and gents?

This shouldn't really bug you. You have Bear to yourself.

I have a Co-worker from another Store, in my area, she has a " Work Hubby ". They , she and he are both married to others. But they worked together so well and even " teased and fought " like a married Couple.

It was funny, that on her FB, I saw that her Work Hubby moved to another Store, But the post was from Work Hubby's Real Wife. Telling " Chrissy " that she wasn't to fret, " Hubby " would always be there for her.

Also I am " Auto Wife " ( I work in a Parts Store ) to several Men. Of which they bring their wives in with them. Lol .. I get the " Our Hubby is being a Pain " or " Maybe you can help him solve his "Piston " problems." It's all in Good fun. None of us take it seriously.

Lighten up Sweetie, he's with You.

Have you ever told any of them you're not comfortable with that nickname? I can't say I'd be super comfortable either, if I didn't really know the woman. It would be different if you got to know this woman, too. My fiance has a female friend who he considered for a long time to be his best friend. I have no problem with it, because he introduced her to me and I got to know her also. It made me feel more comfortable and secure to know the other person. Leaves less to the imagination because you know exactly what you've got in front of you, if that makes sense. If they can't "stop" calling each other that (in other words, its just what they always called each other), then I think it would help if you got to know this woman too. Maybe that will take the "threat" of the situation out of it.

That would make me really upset. Even if I wanted to act like it didn't bother me and I do think that may be the high road it would still drive me bonkers deep down.

On the flipside, it would be even more graceful of the friend to stop referring to your SO in that way.

We don't play that "work husband/wife" stuff over this way. Play can turn real, and it's not a joke to me. Your feelings are legit. You should communicate your feelings.
