When I was a kid, Spirited Away was one of my favorite movies. The mother in it constantly called her husband "anata" but the translation in my first language would always translate it to "darling" or "sweetheart", so I grew up thinking it's basically a very sweet thing to call your significant other.

All I could think about when she mentioned "omae" was "omae wa mou shindeiru"

Calling each other by their names seems like a positive thing! Creates individuality

i used to think "anata" meant "dear" because i heard wives address their husbands this way; learning JP is so much fun, the nuance never ends and the language just flows

I honestly love how you break down the sentence and make it easy to understand :face-red-heart-shape:

I noticed in historical dramas, wives would often call their husbands "omae-sama", which sure sounds like a weird pairing now.
