hubby

A term for a husband. Used exclusively by women who have an underdeveloped sense of self and who have come, to some degree, to define themselves by whom they marry. These women look to their hubbies for happiness and constant reassurance. Without some hubby or other in their lives, these women would not know how to lead a meaningful life. They therefore tend to exaggerate the good qualities in their spouse, i.e. their hubbies are special to them only because they're so insecure about their lives.
