主人(しゅじん) is a humble term traditionally used by wives to refer to their own husbands. Some modern Japanese women prefer using (おっと) instead, as 主人(しゅじん) literally means 'master' and can feel hierarchical. When referring to someone else's husband, use ご主人(しゅじん). The term can also mean the owner or proprietor of a business.
