We are not talking about "people" (the farmer, the biker, the driver, the pastor), we are talking about spouses. Your spouse, my spouse, her spouse, his spouse. There is a difference.
My spouse is a person. He's "the man".
Morbius, are you bored?

It would hurt if my sweet and strong husband would call me "the wife". But he's too sweet to ever do that.

I'm in the clear. I capitalize...The Boyfriend. Some people have thin skin, apparently. Good thing TB isn't one of them, in this case. Better to use "the" in front of relationship status than to be married and say, "I'm single." THAT is unacceptable...but is sa simple fix. We all have our quirks.
