Use of the word "hubby" makes me roll my eyes. I don't hold it against people (so if this is a regular vocab word in your rotation, this is not a personal attack) and it's pure preference- but I can't stand it. Go ahead, call me a jerk.
If I was a guy, I wouldn't want to be referred to with a word that rhymes with "chubby". And he's a husband- hubby just sounds so nauseatingly cutesy. "Husband" sounds to me like substance.
And don't try to tell me it's a shortcut to "husband" because "hubby" is 5 letters, and "husband" is 7. Really, those 2 extra letters were slowing you up?
And for my final argument, if I was routinely called Wifey, I'd barf. Routinely. I know for a fact the Tall One refers to me as The Wife. I love it. So strong sounding. Someone once referred to me as Wifey to the Tall One (while I was in earshot) and I pretty much wanted to open hand slap them on the cheek. Wifey this!!!!!
Take this all with a grain of salt. This is of course coming from the woman who looks her HUSBAND square in the eye and says "You're a..." and inserts whatever object is nearby or whatever was the last word said. Countless times everyday. Like every Monday when Big Bang Theory comes on and the theme song goes on about how in the begininng the universe was in a hot, dense state- the Tall One, without fail, says, "You're a hot, dense state." There are billions of possibilities- and 99% of them are hilarious.
Ah, true love.

You're my favorite.
As someone who is not a wifey, nor has a hubby, I can only comment theoretically.
Theoretically, 1) you're totally right and 2) when my brand new s-i-l uses "hubby" in ALL of her facebook updates, I (theoretically) want to throw up a little.
after that comment, I better be,

SINCE I'm pretty sure who you are, and know that you are also a fellow member of The Just Too Cynical For Pansy Pet Names Club (TJTCFPPN for short... duh), I figured you'd get a kick out of this posting. ;)
Well, I did enjoy it. Immesely. And I'm proud to be part of the TJTCFPPN club!

However, misspelling "immensely" was entirely unintentional.
