Nicole got a tweet from a Morning Mash Up listener saying that she hates how Rich calls his fiance’ Sara “my woman” and Stan calls his wife Sara “my wifey.” She thinks it’s degrading and wishes they would stop. Nicole says she can see how some people would see how both degrading but she doesn’t see anything wrong with “my wifey.
Rich can understand terms like “the old ball and chain,” or “my old lady,” being some weird ways to refer to your girlfriend of wife. The argument was made that “my woman” and “wifey” make it sound like the woman is a possession. Rich and Stan’s point? Well if they aren’t theirs, and vice-versa, then who’s are they?
Stan uses that phrase as a term of endearment and his wife doesn’t mind it at all. One of the main reasons Rich calls Sara his “woman” because he hates the word fiance’ and isn’t sure what else to call her. Plus, like Stan’s wife, she doesn’t mind. Do you think Rich and Stan calling their respective lady’s is degrading?

I think as long as the girl doesn’t care than no one else should. Also I’m with Rich I’m engaged and I hate the word fiance, it sounds wierd, I’m ready to move on to calling him my husband.
Hey, it’s better than calling her “my bitch”. “My woman” and “my wifey” are mild terms of endearment compared to what I’ve heard some couples call each other.
The offense is backwords, when I took some psyhcology classes in college. Saying the persons name is inpersonal, cause you call everybody by their name. Saying who they are to you shows how much they mean to you. By saying she’s your “Wifey” your saying that this person mean soooo much to you you made her your wife. Personally I wouldn’t want you to say my name on my air to the nation anyways.
I think it should be up to the girl. What difference does it make what men call other women….worry about you ….if the wife likes wifey and woman then so be it….I get called old lady and woman and he is not being disrespectfull to me …we have our pet names that we use at home, but girl get over it…..
I call my wife my “wifey” all the time. If she didn’t like it I would stop… Seriously, why do we let other people tell us what we are comfortable with? If I don’t care, then its not inappropriate and if she doesn’t care, then its not inappropriate…
Calling your girlfriend, or wife ‘My Woman’ means a guy is proud of his mate! Calling your wife ‘Wifey’ is a term of endearment! This is not degrading. It’s all good!
Nicole, sorry dear, maybe keep that to yourself about another guy being hot. How would that make you feel if your Man was going on and on about another girl being super hot. Not so good.
I do not think those two terms are dispectful.. the term “OL’ LADY”, however, WILL envoke a response from me!
My daughter and I love listening to you guys in the mornings on our drive to school…. (30 minutes one way!) Thanks for making it fun!
I am married and I don’t think being called “the wifey” is bad at all. And “the woman” isn’t.. What I don’t like is when I hear men calling their significant other “the old lady”. That is degrading!!! That I hate to hear!!!
“Gettin Hyphey with the Wifey” We are from Northern California, aka Nor Cal, and my wife seems to enjoy that one.
“Wifey”, “Woman”, “G-lady”… these are just terms of endearment. Just stay away from the “Warden” and “The Gatekeeper”… doesn’t seem to be as endearing…
I don’t see anything wrong with either as long as they’re said with live and the woman is ok with it…is it degrading to call your husband “my hubby”?
I can my lady “the woman” or “the wifey” all the time. If she had a problem with it she would tell me.
Wifey, Hubby, my man, my woman – they are all just a term of endearment. That woman should take a chill pill. My bro calls my sis-in-law “swampwitch” and she does not take offence, and has proudly been his swampwitch for 21 years – so there! I have a hubby and whatever he calls me, I’m all his! So there, get over it. No biggie.
I love when Rich calls her “my woman.” Sounds sexy to me. My favorite endearment from my husband is “baby girl.” (I’m 39 and mother of 3). He knows to say it in just the right voice and bamn — instantly HOT!
My husband calls me Wifey all the time. I call him Husband or hubby. My cell phone has his number listeed as husband. They are both terms of endearment. If it doesn’t bother either of us – it shouldn’t bother anyone else.
My hubbins calls me his “wif”. Notice I call my husband my “hubbins”. It is called a pet name for crying out loud. Get over it. I think this whole feminist politically correct crud is going way too far. When society starts telling me what I can and cannot call my husband they are going too far. We are in love and have been for 21 years. These are names we have given each other out or that love.
Nicole is wrong on this one. It is fine especially if the women in their lives do not mind. I don’t think my husband would think it degrading if I called him my “hubby”
