RE: Are Married Men "Husbands?" How About a New Term for a New Relationship?

I think the issue would be different in gay relationships, because there isn't the gender power dynamics there. "Husband" to me wouldn't have the same connotations of me being owned that a woman like the OP might have.
I guess "spouse" or "partner" are decent alternatives, but I could see those making people assume you were a lesbian as they are gender neutral.

"Ironically like the nativist far-Right, which despises multiculturalism, but benefits from its ideas of difference to scapegoat the other and to promote its own white identity politics; these postmodernists, leftists, feminists and liberals also use multiculturalism, to side with the oppressor, by demanding respect and tolerance for oppression characterised as 'difference', no matter how intolerable." - Maryam Namazie
