What am I supposed to call him? To me, he is my husband. But there have been times I have called him that... and it has only caused confusion.
One of these times was when I was out of state visiting the in-laws. I was dating someone and he had asked me to drop off a bag of things to his friend who lived in the neighboring town from where I was visiting. When I arrived, they invited me in and I had the chance to visit with his friends. They inquired as to what brought me to the area and I explained I was visiting my husband's family.
I didn't think one thing of what I said. After I left, they quickly called the man I was dating to inquire if he knew I had a husband.
I need a great way to put this. I don't like "my first husband" as there is not a second. I would say "my dead husband" but there are many that would not appreciate my irreverence. "My deceased husband"... well.. that just sounds weird. So, what am I supposed to call him?
