This is just a little thing and I’m not should exactly which sub forum to put it in. This seems as good as any.
So, do you find this weird? Or what do you make of this?
I am a retired 59 woman who frequently has lunch dates, get-togethers or other social outings with friends. However whenever my husband refers to these events, he always calls them “meetings.” Isn’t this weird? He’ll say did you have a lot of meetings today? Or how did all your meetings go? Just now, as I’m lying in bed, my husband just said: “Don’t you have a meeting at 8am? Are you prepared?” Um yeah, honey, I’m just talking a walk with my friend Bonny, no prep necessary.
I kind of like it actually. He sometimes makes me feel like my day was crammed with productive business meetings, when I was just hanging out with friends. Lol
My wife and I do similar things. When she gets home from work I ask her "how was school?" I do not think it's weird at all; just the normal husband/wife lingo.
“Don’t you have a meeting at 8am? Are you prepared?”
This made me LOL.
My wife is a stay at home mom, and I personally wouldn't refer to her getting together with a friend, moms group, etc as a "meeting" but i think its fully, and I might start doing it now. I like I'd probably get along with your husband.

Sounds like he is trying to be playful with his beloved. My wife or I will often wake up and tell the other that we do not want to go to school today. As neither of us has been in school in over 30 years, its just playful talking. I often ask her what is on the agenda for the day as well, like we have a written agenda for our days. Sounds like you are in a very nice relationship.
I actually don’t want to make a thing out of it. He does have a tendency to use words oddly sometimes, but it’s mainly just endearing.
Example: When I cough, he says “God Bless You.” I have said, you know you are supposed to say that after sneezes, not coughs. And, he was like, “well, it can’t hurt, right?”
I’d probably just get a similar response.
I think it would be more “normal,” to ask who I saw today and how they are doing (he knows everyone), instead of just talking more impersonally about meetings. But it’s really just a very minor thing, not a hill I’m going to die on. Just … a little … strange and endearing.
It's not "weird". It's your husband, being himself. It's lovely that he is interested in you and your doings. I have heard lots of words used in ways that you might not think of at first, but when you get right down to it, are apt.
After all, you are meeting a friend for a walk. That is a meeting.
Sometimes I like the "weird" use of a word so much that I appropriate it for myself. (an example would be telling someone "congratulations" when you hear it's their birthday. I love that one and use it every chance I get. But it wasn't me who made it up. I heard it on an episode of Mary Tyler Moore)
I think you are right not to mention it to him. Just have a secret little smile to yourself when he says it.
