I'm surprised the discrimination police haven't jumped all over this with pink Hetty's and red Henry's. I sat on a training course the other day for diversity, discrimination and inclusion. Apparently I'm no longer allowed to compliment a person on their appearance.
So next time my missus puts on a new outfit and gets her hair done etc.. and she asks "how do I look" my answer will be - "no comment".
Oh, and I shouldn't have used the term "my missus" as this implies I am implying she is a possession and not equal.

'The wife' or 't'other half' gets frowned upon even more, though.
 
“‘Er indoors” is bad enough.... suggesting the good lady wife doesn’t leave the house because her job is as housewife and mother and nothing else!!!
 
I usually go with "the" missus (despite not being married) or "the" other half. "My" implies ownership and would likely result in my backside getting a kick.
Betrothal....'as my wedded husband/wife'.
I think it's a bit sad for it to be taken literally, it's more a turn of phrase. If she don't like it, don't use it....but plenty prefer it, especially when they're still all gooey eyed.
'My' friend or 'the' enemy. Take your choice.?

In my defence, I did mention an absense of legal documentation.

Truth be told I made a selection partly on the basis of her legs being too short for her foot to reach my backside.

(Please don't let her see this...)

I wont.
She don't need her foot to do you damage, you know....
.....there he goes again 'MY' backside....?
