As someone that hasn’t strayed in 16+ years, why does my (40m) wife (39f) ask more questions when I refer to someone as a ‘woman’ rather than a ‘lady’?
Crossposted from r/Marriage:
For me, it‘s strictly based on Assumed Age; if I think she’s 15+ years older than me she’s a lady and if I think she’s 15+ years younger than me she’s a girl (I know that you’re legally an adult, don’t @ me). But regardless of context, if I say ‘woman’ my wife instantly wants more information - is it just a matter of insecurity? Again, I’ve never stepped out (though there was an incident a few months ago of a woman I know from work potentially trying to make something more out of a professional relationship).
