Husbando, yeah. I agree with you though, it's not as fun to say.

Wonder if there are alternate terms that would be more catchy

Edit: my hand slipped

There's always the good ol' "danna"

Husbando, it's really just a japanese accent of saying wife and husband.

Waifu is gender neutral.

Husba works for me

I second that.

There's also the alternative "grills" vs. bouys" pair.

Wife - uuuu 🥰

Husbando is the only word I have ever heard used for this (other than just throwing gender to the wind and calling male characters waifu as well)

Hubnob?
