Don't you mean your "boyfriend"?

I may be old fashioned but it really annoys me when people who aren't married refer to their boyfriend or girlfriend as "hubby" or "husband" or "wifey" or "wife". In my opinion, you have to earn the right to call them that by making the vows and putting in the work. Marriage is great if you work at it and are willing to continue to work at it until "death do you part". I think these pet names and titles are used too casually. I take pride in my marriage and the fact that Ryan and I stood in front of our families, friends, the priest, and GOD and vowed to love, honor and respect each other for the rest of our lives. I feel like until you do that and take your vows and take on the responsibility of marriage, you don't rate to use those names for each other.

Another thing that bothers me and kind of goes along with this topic of the casual use of the titles "husband" and "wife" is the overall casual use of marriage itself. I know I'm young and most people weren't expecting Ryan and I to last long because we dated in high school and then got married so young. Here's the difference between us and most of the other people in this country these days... we take marriage seriously. We don't believe in divorce as a convenience. We believe that divorce should only be used in cases where someone is in danger, such as abuse and other instances like that. But we also believe that marriage is a big deal. It annoys me that to some people spouses are like flavors of the week. You need to be positive that person you're putting that ring on is the person you want to share the rest of your life with. I never once had a doubt about marrying my husband. I love him more now than I did on our wedding day and I'm so excited to celebrate more anniversaries, more births of our children, more birthdays, more holidays, grandchildren, everything. To me marriage is so much more than "just a piece of paper" and it sickens me how casual marriages and divorces have become. People these days don't put in the time and effort that should be put into a marriage and that really bothers me. If you aren't willing to work at it and earn your titles, then don't use them at all because it's insulting to the rest of us who have earned the titles husband and wife.
