Name ?
At my new job, Julie came in and I introduced her as my wife. A lady I work with asked that why I prefered that over partner, spouse, significant other, etc. I just said that it's what I prefer referring to her as, because it came natural to us.
That got me thinking when you introduce your DW's to other do you say my partner, my wife, my ______.

Re: Name ?
I typically use "my partner...."
We always introduce as "wife". Not only is it the most comfortable and natural for us, but I also like the way it makes our relationship perfectly clear to others. I was actually really excited to start using the terms "married" and "wife" even before CT recognized ss marriage as my own little act of protest. kinda like "you can't tell me how to define my relationship - I'll claim those words for myself tyvm."
wow, that turned into a long answer to a short question. I introduce andrea as my wife

I use a mix of wife and partner. If I'm wearing my "political hat" I always use wife, but partner feels most comfortable to Nic.
this. except that i'm not in ct and ohio still doesn't recognize my marriage.
In person, wife.
In passing to strangers, spouse.
