Is "wife" demeaning?

Once I was introduced by my then-new brother in law as “the person who infiltrated, then ruined, our family.” I think he may have recovered from that bruised shin in the intervening years, but his shadow even now seldom darkens my doorstep.
My husband’s secretary once told me that she knew my H would never have an affair because he’s too afraid of me. I figured I did my job well. haha
Still, I’m proud to call myself his wife.
