This lady I know recently married off two kids. The older one, the son, is obviously very chassidish and farfrumt but I just heard something pretty shocking about him.
Apparently, he does not call his wife by her first name. EVER!
So I know there are different minhagim, and so on. But this sounds completely bizarre so I have some questions.
I mean - does this make you a better, more holy Jew?
Is this something average people should look up to, and say, one day I want to be like THEM?
Isnt this a tad demeaning to the woman?
Sheesh! Every time I think I've heard everthing, I hear something like this and am shocked all over again.

No it means he needs prof'l help asap. I will have him in mind by Refainu..
weird
wow! Avraham Avinu must have been a real bum in his book, as he called his wife *gasp* sarah!
these people need to get a life!
It sounds like a personal hangup the guy has.Even the Toldas Ahron crowd call their wives by their first names.I don't believe if he asked a shaalo, even from a major machmir, he would be told it is a mertitous behavior on his part
