Think your husband must be trying to be funny. Can't see anyone asking point blank if their partner was still alive, that would at best be very insensitive and rude. Perhaps your husband has emelished the conversation a little, if I bumped into her I wouldn't be able to resist saying, I'm still here as you can see, and wait for her reply.

DH took great delight yesterday telling me that an acquaintance of his (female - I only know her by sight) had asked if I was still alive. I should add that I am in perfect health and three years younger than DH, so there is no logical reason for anyone to suspect my demise.
He can't understand why I took exception to this, especially as he simply told her that I was still in the land of the living.
AIBU in thinking it was a very rude question and upset with him not indicating this to her?
