I think the "wife" discourse is because this has been used in a lot of BL dramas already and it is kind of is heteronormative if you think of it. There is no need to bring up wife word which is typically used for females in a all boy relationship.
Anon, this is one way of looking at it.
Let me make it clear, I DO object when a third person makes assumptions or outright asks a gay couple who is the husband or who wears the pants in the relationship. It's not anyone's business but theirs. So it does become heteronormative when someone outside of the couple does it. But when the couple use it themselves and either or both are okay with it, it's different.
For ex. The bit where Rain from LITA actually enjoys being called P'Payu's wife.
Vs Where in Bad Buddy Pran shuts it down when Pat tries to say it. And Pat corrects his mistake.
Both are fine because the couple is talking about it and coming to an agreement.
Now what we saw in The Eclipse was more of a teasing tactic by Ayan to get Akk being open about it. I myself have seen people struggling with internalised homophobia, it's not pretty. So getting some one to ease into queer language and stuff is a challenging task. It may require various tactics, and I saw it as one of that.
I would also like to comment on a different aspect of it. I am an queer Asian living in West. I have seen more of this kind of language in Asian queer couples than is White or western queer community. Hence you see this in a lot of Asian BL dramas but not Western BLs. The roots lie in the languages and cultures. A lot of Asian cultures relate care, softness, gentleness with the feminine side. And it's not in derogatory sense. Most Asians culture actually put the feminine form on pedestal and worship the female side of the nature in different types of goddesses, which you don't see in West at all. So when you say wife or a mother it automatically assumed that it is a good thing. The notion that wife word is demeaning has actually come from the West. It's very common in Asian friend groups to have a common wife or a mother, it's the person in the group who is most caring or gentle irrespective of their gender. Wife material is one common phrase used in Asian youths to identify a friend who is caring gentle etc etc.
So these are some cultural nuisances you would not understand unless and until you have been part of those cultures.
If you ask me everyone should be open to different languages and cultures and their every day things which are different from the so called standard western notions. It could be a learning curve for everyone.

imagine there's this dude that transfers to your school and right on the first day he makes it clear that he's only there to cause trouble and you're the one who has to keep the rules so you despise him, you're confused - why is he doing this? - and you just want him to stop and get in line.
but secretly you think he's really cool and strong for standing up for himself and others and his opinion but you could never admit that out loud because you weren't taught to stand up for yourself, you were taught to abide by the rules and not overthink it.
so when he tells you "you're allowed to be weak. at least with me." you completely break down and there's nothing you can do but cling onto him and let him hold you, just for a moment because no one has ever told you that it's okay to not be okay or acknowledged that you carry such a heavy burden on your shoulders all by yourself because this is just what you're supposed to do, this is the role you always had, the responsibility you could never shake off.
so when that strong boy, that shoulder to lean on (that you can't even accept) starts screaming and trembling in his sleep, what do you do? what is there to do except for comfort him and hold him tight and make sure he's going to be okay.
because if he, who you never thought had any weaknesses, isn't okay at the end of the day - how could you ever be?

There’s a lot of stuff in this show that is obvious in hindsight through context clues which starts to make sense after we get the added context.
One major one would be Akk and Ayan’s first conversation in the teachers’ bathroom. The tension there makes a lot more sense when you know that Akk knows Ayan just saw him set off the car.
But we also have a lot of context that a lot of characters don’t have. Here are a few examples:
Thua doesn’t know that Wat has been watching Kan look at him for a while now. Thua didn’t see the look of devastation of Kan’s face when he was talking to Ayan.
Wat was the only one who noticed Akk was trying to side with Waree in the class to try and settle things. Most people do still think Akk is just a suck up
Almost nobody has seen Namo be shady
To date nobody knows why Kan was late to class because he got in a fight
Nobody knows Wat is making a short film 
Kan knows about Akk and Ayan but Wat and Akk don’t know about Kan and Thua
Wat doesn’t know about Akk and Ayan - not really
Nobody outside Chadok’s office knows that Dika is dead 
Thua took over the curse from Akk very quicky - there wasn’t a lot of downtime between those two events. Even for people looking into who is behind it, it’s the same person. That’s why even though Akk almost set the school on fire it seems like escalation because he didn’t, and the banner was more drastic and public than throwing paint on the posters.
And in that same vein, Thua never knew that Akk was being brainwashed, or that he had decided to stop the curse, or that he had changed his position and beliefs. For the most part, if anyone knew that outside of Ayan or Wat or Kan, it was The World Remembers because Akk quietly apologised to them the last time he took their things - it was the most he could do.
Thua had no way of knowing. From his perspective, it was all still going.

reasons why episode 6 of the eclipse series should not have been shown to me: a very serious, very rational, write up
[THE ECLIPSE SERIES EP 6 SPOILERS!]
so far, we've seen many tension-filled akkayan moments - whenever they get a whiff of that locker room air, or a feel of each other on the crash mat - but EPSIODE 6??!!?!!! i'd like to say i have no words but i'm afraid i cant hold my thoughts in any longer or i'll literally exothermic-reaction combust. let us begin...
the all-revealing scene
Tumblr media
even tho this scene is a lead on from ep 5, it still made me sit up with shock. the anticipation and the tense atmosphere when aye discovers the truth behind so many happenings and akk's visible panic to find out he's been uncovered is just the perfect combo in this scene. and even tho aye has just found out damaging information, instead of throwing akk under the bus, he helps him hide from teacher sani. it's the way he constantly protects akk, despite the circumstances, that never fails to make me giggle and kick my feet. and omg the tension?? through the roof. I WAS SO HAPPY AYE WAS THE ONE TO FIND AKK (but also anxious)
2. the firepit scene
Tumblr media
"akk! look into my eyes. nothing is the best. you can't carry all the school problems on your shoulder. do you get it?" "but i must do it! if i can't, everyone will be disappointed in me." "screw those people!"
now this pushed me to my limit. we hoped for affection and we got emotional vulnerability, on both sides. akk with his hero complex, breaking down in tears before aye (aka the only person i've seen him be this unguarded around), and ayan crying after seeing akk so tormented by the good-boy persona he's trying to maintain. honestly, tears rimmed my eyes bc i FELT for both of them during the peak of this scene. aye holding akk's face to calm him and akk just allowing himself to be vulnerable in front of him.. it just UGH
3. their quiet yet LOUD moment
Tumblr media
this scene bro. when i tell you i squealed when aye got all flirty n shit and the way akk was just LETTING him do this until they got caught (eyeroll). we see a clear change from the first episodes where akk would immediately push aye away or escape the situation where as now, he seems to accept and almost.. yearn for it? wtv it was, it made want to push their heads together and give us all what we've been ever so patiently waiting for. the way aye has the ability to be flirty while being accusing of akk is genuinely attractive. idc.
4. my final effing straw
Tumblr media
THE NIGHTMARE TROPPEEE HELLL YEAAHHHH best trope going i swear. the way akk instantly comforted aye with a hug and was the first to lean in for a kiss for once??? the way they've become so fond of one another is just entirely tender and warm and i so thoroughly enjoyed this scene that i replayed it at least 3 times. he didn't hesitate to make sure ayan felt safe during the nightmare and neither did he pull away when aye leant in for the kiss.
Tumblr media
the safe aura this scene encapsulates is just immaculate and first and khaotung couldn't have done a better job at executing it. akk finally caved and wasn't forced into doing so, he did it voluntarily, of his own free will. he wanted to kiss aye. he wanted to make him feel safe in his arms and protect him from his nightmare. i love them. i really do. i'm happy this was the way they shared their first proper kiss, with mutual pining after a long day and in the comforts of akk's dorm bed. so homely it gives me butterflies DKDJHDJKS
this scene reminds me of leith ross' - We'll Never Have Sex "Oh, you kissed me just to kiss me Not to take me home It was simple, it was sweetness It was good to know"
but anyways.. that concludes this vent for now. in short, this episode should've been kept from my view because idk how im gonna cope when the series ends! 😃

Weekly series summary
> I watch Love in the Air and I don't know why I'm doing it, because I don't buy the plot of this production
> I'd like to get more involved in the depths of Eclipse and all theories (I love theories!), but I think it's too little time since the end of KP and I'm not ready to fall into another such character and plot study well. For now, I love Ayan and the scene when he cries.
> I figured Vice Versa didn't convince me, because in fact the heroes act as if they were still in high school, and probably should be more grown up. But eventually something happened. At the same time, I do not know whether the way this series can create and solve plot points in 20 minutes should be appreciated or condemned.

You know I am sad because The Eclipse is such a good show, but it's gonna go on my no rewatch list.
And the reason is Ayan or more specifically the actor playing his role. There is an inherent sadness in his performance. From what I have seen either he is a method actor or just seen some shit in his life. I just can't get over his portrayal of losing a closed one and not being able to help. It's breaks my hearts to pieces.
For same reason We best love is on my no rewatch list. The actor playing Gao Shi De too is so heartbreakinginly believable in his performance.
