@Rayve
I take your point on the bond and giving 100%. Partner does not imply that as much as wife perhaps. Better half implies that part of a whole better perhaps.
@MrEricka
Its probably just me, but somehow 'the wife' seems less respectful.
@OhBoobs
At an intellectual level, I don't think it is any worse, but this is just how it feels to me. Maybe it is some artefact of my age and the attitudes that were around 50 years ago when I was growing up.
I think it is strange for me to feel this way which is why I started this thread.
