My point is that, that relationship protrayed on screen seemed as natural for a society that is past the labels.
Come to think of it, I did like the casual mention of a wife to Jett Reno. That and I happen to like the character because she reminds me a guy I work with.
Same here, Jett Reno was a great addition to the cast in Season 2, I love her snarkiness, and her hands no approach to engineering was a lot of fun, and the bit of rivalry between her and Stamets was absolutely enjoyable, and as you said I to like her talking about her wife, that conversation was very natural, I hope we get more of her in Season 3.
Honestly while the overall story lines of Discovery are hit or miss for me, I find the series strengths are in its cast of characters and their personal stories, I was more invested in Burnham reconnecting with Spock, Culber dealing with coming back from the dead and being in a new body, the heartbreak of Stamets being reuniting with Culber and wanting things to go back to how they were but not being able to, Pike wanting to prove himself and make up for being sidelined in the war, and then seeing his fate in the future, just to name a few, than the whole evil A.I. from the future wanting to destroy all life because they were inspired by the Terminator franchise.
