Backwoodsman BS: Language Pet Peeves (2488* d) RE: BS: Language Pet Peeves 19 Sep 23

My wife’s opinion is that ‘the wife’ relegates her to the same category as ‘the car’, or ‘the fridge’ - i.e. to that of being simply a possession - whereas ‘my wife’, as Doug quite correctly pointed out, indicates a close relationship.

I agree with her.
