IMHO you don’t get to call them that until they call you dad, and that doesn’t necessarily happen the moment you get married.
My mother in law married someone while my wife was an adult. She would never call him dad, and he would never call her daughter, that doesn’t mean they aren’t family or aren’t close.
Correct take. “Wife’s son” taken genuinely gives off very strong distancing vibes. It feels like he’s trying to disown or reject his relationship to the stepson. It’s kind of like when people say “baby mama” to refer to their current partner. No, there’s no direct link between them and myself: we’re just related by this other secondary relationship.
“my wife’s _” is such a huge meme that it feels forced to even try reading it genuinely when a more organic way of wording it is available.

Any drama must be posted as an observer, you cannot post drama that you are involved with.
When posting screenshots of drama, you must obscure the identity of all the participants.
The poster must have a credible post and comment history before submitting a piece of history. This is to avoid sock-puppetry and witch hunts.

Why can’t he just say his son or stepson?

Nonsense, you call eachother how you see them. If my stepson doesn’t call me dad that’s fine, he’s still my stepson
