Why don't people use 我太太 instead of 我的太太?
I thought you could omit 的 if the person is close to you?

No. The reasoning is not correct. For example,
我的太太 [是]非常漂亮= My wife is very pretty.
我太太, 非非常漂亮 = My wife, very pretty.
Meaning is the same but grammar differently expressed.

use 我太太,It is the oral Chinese.Use 我的太太,It is the written Chinese.All of these are the same meaning

当“的”作定语助词的时候,通常可有可无,说话的人可以根据说话节奏的需要,把“的”填上去或删下去。

"我太太“和”我的太太“肯定不是口语与书面的关系,因为我们根本就没有办法把所有的使用”我太太“的地方都改成”我的太太“,同样的,也不能把所有的”我的太太“的地方都改成”我太太“。二者是有区别的,只是不是含义上的区别,更多的是语感的区别。这个要怎么给外国人解释?
