Well, before my wife died, we had an argument about me talking about stuff referring to it as, “before my wife died” solely because until she dies its always before my wife died.

But why would your wife say “it’s very disrespectful to refer to them that way”? That doesn’t make sense either It already doesn’t make grammatical sense because your wife hasn’t died, so you can’t refer to it happening in the past tense - you’d have to say “before my wife dies” which ruins the joke.
