Question for married men. Do you ever refer to your wives as the old ball and chain or battle ax?

Only in rare jokes with the boys.

Never, I love my wife very much.

Nope. That would reflect poorly on me more than her.

I call her by her name, generally.

Nope, I respect , love and cherish my wife, that would be rude,

I'm not married, but if I were I would never refer to my wife that way. What you are describing sounds more like what we see in sitcoms or tv shows.

in The Shining... jack nicholson refers to shelly as "the old sperm bank"

My husband does not use social media that much, so I will answer for him.

He calles me darling. If he is teasing he will say: the ol girl in doors! He is 10 year's older than me, so I remind him of that.

No. 'She who must be obeyed'.

No.

I usually just use her name.

wife or my better half
